Is she wayward or ww. Idk. I know she gets all dressed up once or twice a week and runs meaningless “errands” but she’s not at night or overnight. She’s having some sort of affair, but no tattoos piercings. She had her teeth whitened but kind of stopped working out.
LOL! Sorry, the sitch is not funny. I'm amused at your descriptions. (By the way, wayward wife=WW.) The outward things you see is evidence of rebellion. Every box may not be checked for every person. Not every WW is going to get tattoos, piercings, or stay out all night. Waywardness holds an attitude of harsh resentment, disrespect, extreme self centeredness.....and rebellion. I could include a lot of other negative things, like deceit, blame, lies, loss of attraction for her H, owning no responsibility, etc. The one thing that might stand out (or not) is the hardness of her heart. She can put on an act when it suits her, but she carries a cold, hard heart. This shows up in her attitude, speech, and actions.
The main difference in a walk-away wife and a wayward wife, is that the WAW doesn't have a hidden agenda that involves another man, or GGW activity. The WW does. The WAW doesn't act out in rebellion. The WW does.
What is it that made you decide she was having a MLC? Was it her age? You know, every woman that gets older doesn't go into a crisis and start acting like some crazy alien. I think a lot of H's just assume it must be MLC, since the age fits. Did your W suffer some trauma in her childhood (like abuse, molestation, etc.)? Did her mother go through MLC?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
