Hey GGG(G), I'm with Nitty, loved that quote! My W has in fact stated several times that she is almost certain she will spend the rest of her life alone, could never find anyone who treated her any where close to how well I have. But at the same time spews at me and blames me for every bad thing she has ever had happen or "felt" in the last 21 years! How does that make ANY sense? They act like children that get angry and tell mommy (or daddy) "I hate you!" just because they feel that way at that moment. You are right about how others just don't get it. Even her "friends" can't understand why she is doing what she is (If they were real friends they would tell HER that but they have to work with her so they just say what she wants to hear).
If only my W could have acted the way you described. Logical reasons, considering the kids lives and how they will be affected by her actions, not being selfish and throwing tantrums and not changing history or making up things that I have done (that I never did) to justify her actions. Now that would be something that, while it would stink to give up on a 21 year M, break up a family, would be so much easier to get through.
I'm starting to believe that a large number of M's end due to MLC, more than most people think. My W likes to tell me about other people who D their H's because of really stupid reasons like that makes what she is doing OK. But it gives me an idea, like when she told me about someone who D because her H didn't "give her enough sex", that that person was probably in a MLC! She was looking for reasons why she wasn't happy and found that one. (You would think that would be a easy problem to fix :))
You sound like you are really doing well GGG. Keep going that way, you deserve it!
