Story and Symptoms of MLC/WAW Part 2

[gzabetas]

Marc there are others as well here on this forum who share the belief that for a relationship to fail it is a 50/50 deal.
My take is that even if it takes 2 people to work on the R, it takes one to break it. It really does.

For many of us members here on this site we didnt share the same template relationship, others were more angry and angst driven. I was mature and late in my age so I had worked out all those issues, so hence my surprise at BD.

I agree with your post, and that is what Christianity teaches us as well. I am in the south of Greece and I am half ready to move into a monastery similar to Alyosha in the brothers Karanazov.

I am losing faith in the world, and every time I try to make sense of my partner and their situation I get handed the old statement "look on your side". My recent take is that my side can be sparkling clean and R may still fail.

If our spouse walked into the room one day and said they thought they were Napoleon, would we be really contemplating what we had to do with their mental /emotional breakdown.

You have moved on further than me and are wise, and I really liked your story.
One day I hope to get there.
