The MLCer says a lot of things they say believe none of what you hear and half of what you see The "control" issue seems to come up in every story you read about MLC they feel controlled-Maybe some of us(myself included can look at this issue and resolve it in ourselves)but I don't not think that is the reason they leave
My xh OW (now XW) was way more controlling than I ever was she would not let him talk to his old friends ..I know this because his best friend told me she texted him telling him to leave XH alone- I guess best friend was trying to help XH get sober again- he said OW was nuts-his words-
They usually affair down and pick need and controlling, or drug addicted partners mine also followed this
I have little emotion regarding XH new divorce-It doesn't matter to me If he can find help for himself and return to be available for his children, that would be awesome if not --I wish him the best and I have no need for any further connection to him I said nothing about this to the kids-they really have no R to him and don't need to know or get their hopes up After watching his choices--I really have little faith in my X to follow through anyway
I know it is hard and I hear your pain--I understand what it feels like to go through it
You are doing all the right things once you get past the emotions and grief,,you will find yourself new and again make a new life and have another R if you choose- I see it over and over again
Take care of yourself try to make a new friend and have one fun night-like a movie or dinner you will get to the other sidemen day at a. time
