Hey MizJ,

Finally caught up - lunch hours are a good thing!

So, I went back and did your quiz. I don't know about this:
Myself - Green - bright, soothing and natural
Others - Big Cat - sleek elegant and fierce
Sex - ocean - vast, changeable and dangerous (Too much Six Shades of Gray, maybe?)
Death - Empty Room - excited (hello! project!), alone, isolated

So apparently, I am a Crack Pot. No problem, just beware smile

Ah J, I think you have hit the nail on the head when you said that your H "seems to have an attitude of disbelief that this, our M, can really be "all there is" to M. He sees TV and movies and "other people" who seem to be having so much "more". And naturally, I am the one who's at fault.


I absolutely agree with this. I won't even say to a certain extent that I did not sometimes compare "real life" to "Hollywood" but I never threw away someone to do it. My xSO was the same: we needed to have "a song" (what for?), we should never argue, write affectionate things to each other and now he wants the white picket fence with the always affectionate wife and kids. In his mind, he knows exactly what that looks like and it looks like a Disney Movie. And as long as OW plays into that fantasy with cutesy texts, he's hers.

The fantasy may be different in the details for every MLCer, but one thing holds true, it is just a fantasy.

A fantasy they sure risk a lot for.
