I'm struggling to know if my W is a WAW or a MLC'er...
My W left 6 weeks ago and has very little communication with me since (just about our S). We've been together for 18 years (we were childhood sweethearts) and she has express (not to me but others) a desire to rekindle some of her lost youth. She went out with a mutual friend at the weekend and of course got very drunk. I'm told that she is very straight in her thoughts and has NO desire to reconcile or work at things. When asked if she's missed me she says "no" and she just wants good things for me - but that we are done.
She began drinking a lot more than than usual (a lot more regularly) about 9 months ago and spent most of her free time on her phone. I do KNOW that there is no-one else (she just wants to be on her own and focus on her).
Sh is of the impression that this will have no affect on our 3.5 yr old S. She appears angry with me regularly and seems so detached from the situation.
She has a history of severe depression however maintains on her medication. She suffered massive post natal depression also.
Her own parents broke up when she was 15 - and her Mom probably left 10 years later than she should have. I know that my W doesn't want to end up in the same position as her mom, however her mom was in an abusive relationship with a man who cheated on her numerous times. I have never done either!
I struggle to know whether I'm dealing with a MLC or WAW. Any advise or help would be gratefully appreciated.
