Marvin, thank you. I think what you described about your W is true for mine as well. She cant have spent 20 years with me without loving me. I think you are right, our definition of love is just different. I hope, for her sake if not for mine too, that after she finishes her journey through MLC land that she DOES have a more mature sense of what love is.

The only thing I know for sure is that I cant go back to the way things were before. If we reconcile at some point, things HAVE to be different in order for it to work for me. Her MLC has woken a dormant part of me. One that needs more out of a relationship than I was getting. I didnt even realize that I was missing anything before, but now that I do I cant dismiss it.

Ive read up on your sitch, Marvin. I dont think Ive posted to you before, but I typed something to you the other day but got distracted before having time to click Submit. Sorry about that. Think I'' head over to your thread now smile
