Sorry if I depressed you with the 'two years'. I am afraid that isn't a long time in MLC land. Sounds like you had a pleasant interaction with him.
I have come to believe that they do feel guilty but it comes out in strange ways.
Probably better not to analyse, but I do wish that MLC was better understood. Our lives are hit by a bulldozer, or railroad car, and we have to crawl out from under the wreckage to get on with our lives. If you have ever been to a divorce support group or talked to a group of people who have gone through divorce there seems to be a real difference between those who have come to a managed agreement even though it is still painful, and those of us whose partner appears to decide in a very short period of time that they never wanted to be married to us, and ascribe all unhappiness to our existence.
