It is so difficult to live with someone in MLC. Does anyone actually reconcile when the S doesn't move out? I've read so many reconciliation stories, but they are all from a spouse that has moved out and wants to return home. I can't recall reading any stories of reconciliation from people who don't leave.
It is so difficult to detach because they are always there to remind you of the situation, either through words or behavior. And then on the days it isn't as bad, I can't help but just wait for the other shoe to drop. I feel like I am living on the edge all the time. I know I just need to detach and GAL, but sometimes I make headway with that and others it seems like an insurmountable task. Then there is a touch and go that makes it even harder, regardless of it I recognize what it is. Knowing what I need to do but not being able to do it make me feel like a failure (I know I'm not but I have to push myself down from that feeling). I wish I didn't feel so stuck all the time.
