interesting thread-

I think there is much validity to MLC..I believe it is real-

I also think it may be connected to some kind of brain disorder like addiction..This could be any kind of addiction
drugs, alcohol, love, romance, sex, spending gambling,working ect,,,(addiction is classified as a true disease of the mind)

I also think(my OPINION)
MLC is connected to unresolved real issues for the persons childhood and past..Things they either never dealt with or fully completed like abuse as a child or young adult-
These issues can not be avoided for some people without consequences, such as MLC

So when age 40 hits and the person RE-evaluates their life..
They seem to go back in time usually to their teens
We see it in their clothing, spending,their actions, there need to pick younger, their attitudes and way of thinking
their carefree minds rejecting the responsibilities they once had.
Maybe anything could trigger them like a spouses illness or a death or the second child.

They are also extremely self centered..and my XH was and most addicted people are-
I guess each of us will come up with some kind of explanation for MLC that works for us but it probably does not matter

They usually leave and many will not return as they once were-

MY XH did sent a VM last year on my work phone
He sounded terrible and in pain He was asking me to tell some of his old friends in recovery to call him and he left his number
He also said he knows "he did wrong"
I since heard, he was divorced, on drugs and "unhelpable"

You will find a way to get through this and figure it out in a way that works for you to accept the unacceptable
