I dont believe in the term MLCer. I think it takes a certain personality type to cheat, lie, betray, steal etc. I think we as LBS just never recognized it early enough. It sometines takes the weather to get unpleasant before it comes. I think of a lot of mlcers as fair weather partners.
I am aquaintances with a female walkaway. And she is honestly just annoyed and repulsed by her ex. Says she is not in love. And that she needs to be in love. She acknowledged that she was upset and cried to him when he found a new girlfriend. As soon as he offered to come back to her she realized she didnt love him.
Regarding the new guys in her life...they have to fit a certain looks and money criteria. She is usually happy at first and compares them favorably to her ex (looks and money) but gets upset cause they dont want to commit the way she wants then to. The 2nd one left his wife and small kids, but she doesnt see that. Or it doesnt bother her because he was no longer in love.
I suspect that if things do not work out in a way that is beneficial to her with any of the new guys, she will eventually go back to her ex. But it would be more out of convenience and because she is aging and the type of guy she is looking for might not take her seriously long term.
