Thank you Job I am crying - this is crazy that I am so affected. I think what has happened is that I was doing really well and assuming that I was detaching at a fair rate. Obviously not Although it has been only 5 weeks since BD I had hoped I would be more robust. But i guess have had a lot to cope with.. I am now worried that the relationship with OW is public and I do not/will not know. We have a large amount of mutual friends and I feel so embarrassed........ I dont know why I do - as I did not BD - he is the running partner here. Thank you for reminding me that this is normal MLC behaviour - cutting ties with everything that reminds him of me and D. I will try not to take this personally and breathe. I want to be here for myself and mu D...I dont want to be caught in this endless circle of thinking about what/where he is. It is no good for me or D.... I think the default upset from the information earlier is that I have gone out of the zone of thinking that he is in a depression. Do MLCers behave as if they are happy, a much improved life etc etc??? Thank you for your support x
