For some time now, I have been thinking she's a walkaway versus a MlCer. In both situations you would apply the same DB techniques, time, space, etc. If she were in MLC, she would have exhibited confusion, gone back in time and begun to act out like a teenager, wouldn't have much, if any interest in the children and most likely would have been spending money like it's water. I don't see your wife doing any of this. Have you?
Interestingly enough I see this exact behavior in my wife.
exhibited confusion - Not sure about this. Though there has been confusing behavior. When we're together, things are great. She talks about how much she's enjoying. Possible children names if she's ready for that again in years (I put that aside, saying one day at a time), etc. Then during the week or when we're apart, distance and back to saying she's ready for a divorce. Confusing behavior indeed.
gone back in time and begun to act out like a teenager- YES - Tattoos, piercings, sexual exploration, etc.
wouldn't have much, if any interest in the children - Not really, sadly
most likely would have been spending money like it's water - Definitely. Happy to pay for everyone's meal at the table. Expensive restaurants, expensive drinks. I've been playing along as part of my 180 - being the fun outgoing guy and not the frugal cheapskate.
Not sure it means anything, but found it curious that my WW is exhibiting such MLC symptoms as well.
