A Voyage Into The MLCer Mind

[dxw689]

Wonka: Thanks for this thread - the discussion of the peacock from you and LoisB struck a chord with me: "I also don't know that cocky is the way I would describe that. It seems more like a peacock to me when I see it. Kind of like, "Look. I'm happier now. Look at me and how happy I am now that I left that dead weight." "

This is SO much the case with my husband, who moved out and within 1 month had my kids staying at his house with the other woman and within 6 weeks, had her move in with him. One of the hardest things I've found to reconcile with whether my husband is WAS or MLC is that he shows no signs of depression - rather, there is a constant way of throwing in my face how happy he is - I might think it was an "I'll show you" response, except that inviting someone to move in with you goes beyond that. If it has anything to do with me at all, it's like he's trying to say "Look, there's no going back: I don't want you at all and it's not just better for me with OW, look how great the kids get along with her too! You're completely superfluous!"

I see also that you yourself still struggle with what your emotions are telling you, just as I am: Thank you for the honesty in your posts!!!
