Does someone going through MLC really think they get a do over on their life?
Based on my W, it appears they do, or try to believe that, or that is what they want.
As a big analyzer myself, all you can really do is put everything into the "hypothesis" category, until they/if they come out and have insight into themselves and can talk about it.
My W is getting to that stage, some. But she still "has to go find herself".
