MLC plays havoc with memory - I am not sure why, but almost everyone on the Boards reports it. It isn't just the rewriting of history, but they will assert and believe events. Pre bd I thought that my xh was starting Alzheimers early, as his memory was totally shot even then. Their concentration is also poor.
For example my xh now clams that he always said that OW1 would never last, but I had an email from during the affair him saying that she was the woman he loved and intended to spend the rest of his life with. So he has rewritten his history with her too!
If you ever try to convince a MLCer they will usually say you are quoting them out of context. Thy believe what they want to believe, in short. It is a sort of magical thinking.
I heard the most wonderful quote the other day 'You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts'
I just addressed this!! Thank God. Sometimes I think, "Did I remember this incorrectly?" Ummmm, no.
