Ugh - the MLC peer group. It's the theme that gives Will Ferrell endless movie scripts.

My h also dropped all normal friends in true MLC fashion. (He now once again talks to his best buddy from college.)

His two BFFs in MLC: both never before married men who are 50. One seemed to spend his days refilling his Viagra prescription and trolling bars/hitting on women even though he always had some live-in girlfriend. He hit on me once. H knew him pre-MLC and wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. He was a complete louse of a guy. He was the type who gives that elevator look--a woman walks in and he looks at her from top to bottom and back up. Gross.

2nd guy: also 50, never married, lived in a beach house paid for by h parents (had a minimum wage job). He would hold parties at his parents house and party with his parents (they all acted like they were 20). My kids knew him as did many kids because he worked at a rec. center with children. One day my s12's friend said out of he blue: that guy is pathetic. He is 50 acting like he is 20.

I was invited to the first guy's house a few times. But I told h I didn't like him and didn't want to go anymore. One night, at a party, he came with his girlfriend but was in a corner hitting on another girl.

MLC is a real classy affair.
