WH, I posted a reply some days ago, but i think i must have forgotten to hit submit - it disappeared! Sorry - and I'd love to get together for a drink!
For anyone who doubts that mlc is all about reverting to an unresolved time during adolescence, I wanted to pass on this little titbit i picked up on Facebook.
My XH took a call in front of us when he was here the other night. We could all hear a semi-hysterical female voice on the other end.
It was .... made-up name ( the type that XH used always to comment sarcastically: 'Name - the traditional spelling' e.g.: 'Blaydon - the traditional spelling'.
Anyway, conversation sounded like this was the girlfriend of a guy XH has said is his 'new bf', and that new bf now lives in the guy house that XH claims is his current abode. It was all "I'm afraid, my bf isn't here and there are strange people at the door... what should i do???"
The guy is 24, and on XH's football team. XH, you'll recall is 43.
Anyway, I checked the girlfriend out on Facebook - because i couldn't resist... and got an eyeful of her likes:
THIS is my XH's new life, people who like:
TV: Gossip Girl, Top model, Big Brother, Two and a half men.
Books: Twilight
Movies: Ted, The Hangover Part 3
If it wasn't so funny, I'd cry.
XH is a guy who used to read the classics .. had a really high intellect, was on top of all current affairs, would debate anything.... was one of the smartest people I knew.
MLC really is as predictable as they say. This is the only thing that keeps me going - the fact that the process is so scripted. It seems like they 'have to' do these ridiculous things. I know they don't have to come out the other end, but it seems like there's a chance, if things unfold this predictably.
