My wife's midlife crisis

[kiro]

I Some close friends have just told me to forget about her and find someone else. I’m not ready for another relationship and won’t be for some time.

Your friends (and anyone who has not been a LBS) have no idea what they are talking about. And they will never understand what is going on with a MLC and how it needs to be handled because it is counter-intuitive.

I have many friends who as soon as they got separated started dating. I can tell you that several years later, most of them are not in any serious relationship and obviously never got back to their original wives. They just keep on jumping from relationship to the next. And they're always frustrated.

My father in law divorced my MIL after 17 years of marriage. Then, he got married to another woman less than 6 months later. This was 23 years ago. He is still married to the other woman (which is a good thing), but till this day he still regrets get remarried so quickly and not being patient because he loved his first wife and he thinks that they could have reconciled a few years later after emotions calmed down. We'll never know.

My point is you don't know if she will come back and you can't control her. But at any time, you have a choice to end it. You obviously still love her and don't want to end it. So why the rush? Why start thinking about a new relationship?

If you GAL and focus on yourself, you don't have to worry about life being too short.
