HI 2Tours,
I know that this is puzzling. I know that you want an answer. I'm not sure your wife even knows the answer.

I read recently that the best thing we can do for our own peace of mind is stop trying to get inside their heads.

Someone else may have a different POV, but I thought I'd share this in case it was helpful.

I'm not surprised you felt relief. You know now that you have a month of nc, so you have a month of not having to anticipate what lunacy might come at you from the MLC wormhole.

Do you decorate for the holidays? What sorts of GAL activities are you planning?

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
