Timeline...well my sitch is one where W did/is doing 2 phases...the first phase I didn't know it was mlc, not even on the radar. I thought it was garden variety old high school boyfriend re-connect via fb and EA...but looking back with the 20/20 hindsight, it was the rumblings of replay. In phase 1, our IC and myself cut short the EA and all and things were getting better. I had made a lot of changes, but slipped into old habits. She still hadn't answered all the questions inside and spring of 2011 things started getting "unusual" with her, then by fall she was ready for phase 2 and BD'd me and off to the outer orbits...lol.

If you have a lot of time to kill go to my thread for more info if interested.

Otherwise, Heart's Blessing has the "stages" of mlc from her sitch, should be in the resources at the top of the mlc thread/topic. The more you learn, the better you will get through this, imo. So much it counter-intuitive to "normal" life...but we ain't in Kansas anymore... smile
