Mirage, just read your comment again and have some questions. When you were in MLC 2.5 years, did you know you were in a crisis? You mentioned two types of MLCs - internal and external. If an external involves woman and cars, what would you describe an internal one as, like the one you went through? Do drugs, alcohol accompany both internal and external? What clues do you have that enable you to know it started at 40 and ended at 40 1/2? Did you know at the time?
My H seems to be having an internal crisis and I know he spends some time reading, but the remainder of the time, he plays phone games and spends hours on tiktok. I know these are replay behaviors but trying to understand H still after 32 years.
