She's also spent time figuring how others would take the news of her leaving. She doesn't want to be the bad guy. Which sometimes makes me wonder if this is really a MLC. Most MLC'ers don't care about their reputation or if they hurt others. Maybe she's a sensitive MLC'er?
This may be a female MLCer trait. I recall telling Ms. Wonka a short time after the BD during one of our walks in the woods that "I am not the bad guy" and "Something's wrong with me." There you have it.
