Questions for today: 1) If she is intelligently looking at her self, how much talk about MLC can you have with an MLCer?
Only if they bring it up. Then point out that a MLC, or better still, a mid life transition, can and should be a period of growth. A chance to become better people with more meaning and purpose in our life.
Mostly just encourage her to figure it all out. Listen to her. Be there for her.

How can I detach and GAL without being seen as "more of the same"?
Do the dance. Since you live together and have kids, there has to be interaction. if she's receptive to you, go with it. If she's not, off you go to do your own thing. This way she doesn't perceive you as cold, or pressuring her for what you want.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
