MLC? Maybe you can tell me...

[Bird]

Hmm...he hasn't articulated a problem with aging. He lost around 20 pounds last winter but he wasn't trying to. He just wasn't eating much. We used to run together but he hasn't exercised in a long time. It would be good for him to do so, but I digress. Like I said, he's tall and lean so he's not putting on pounds. He has been spending some of his free time with people from work, one guy I know is only around 30 and of course the OW is only 33. He hasn't communicated much with "our" friends who are his own age.

The main thing that makes me think MLC (besides the depression) is his erratic behavior - the "mirror image". So many of his choices lately have not been typical. Even little things. My 12 year old asked me to make her an appointment to speak with a counselor as she's been feeling some emotional numbness/depression. I texted him on Tuesday (the first time I've communicated to him since Friday night's blow up) and asked what he has planned with them for Feb break (he has them) because she wanted me to take her to see a counselor. He responded with what he has planned/when she will be free. Didn't ask about her at all. So unlike him. He texted me yesterday and asked if there was anything he needed to know about why she was asking to see a counselor. As if skipping out on your wife and kids and renting a house down the street wasn't enough of a reason?

I've never read that book but I just looked it up on Amazon - is it Rabbit, Run? I'm inclined to check it out.
