A WAS = Walkaway spouse is someone who has been telling you for years and years the same thing and just gets fed up waiting for you to change so they walk away. This comes from MWD in the DB/DR book.
Sandi uses WW = Wayward Wife, which could be the same as above however they use an affair to escape the current relationship.
MLC = Mid Life Crisis, could also have the same symptoms and may or may not involve an affair. Although usually their is an affair, it could also be an imaginary one that is only in someones head. It is also involves a seriously lengthy period of TIME.
I tend to use all these terms fairly synonymously, and to be honest their is really little difference in all of them, IMHO.
My basic point with my post is that it is not unusual for a few basic scenarios to occur. One crisis in one spouse normally starts a crisis in the LBS. And the LBS very many times turns into a WAS given enough passage of TIME.
Thanks Cadet. Officially back to my initial understanding of all concepts.
