Yeah, Job, I read all the links. I’ve been a lurker since July.
Not that it makes any difference, but I say MLC because I can in retrospect see the anger stage and now replay because she is reverting to very unladylike behavior she had in college. Now this was before we met, so I don’t hold it against her. It broke my heart because she was a wonderful partner (Who I know I won’t be seeing again) and it upped the empathy quotient.
So what am I seeing? Excessive working out Change in diet less carbs more protein and veggies Buys and wears much more makeup Spends way more time getting ready to go out...to grocery store! Stopped wearing rings except for work More form fitting clothes, but tasteful Detachment from kids
