Congrats on the get-away. He will not know what hit him. One to remember.
I have been reading your post and might have missed something, or a lot. What have you read about MLC? It amazes me that so much of your text about your H seems to come right out of the published pages, even if the two of you don't think that is what this was. A great deal of your own thoughts and issues conincide with the cycle. Are people so predictable.
I honestly believe that the more factual information you gather on this the more you will be able to judge your sit not so much by emotion but by the nature of the beast. I won't go into it too much until I see more about what you have learned or read. In case you haven't spent a great deal of time on this, I will say all publications swear that after the transition if you both choose to stay together with the person you now come to know, you will experience the greatest unconditional love relationship any couple will ever know. It takes time to get that, and is worth the journey. But right now go enjoy that getaway. Would he believe your car is acting up and you need him to come home early and help get it to the shop before they close?
Always - You said you were a C? What kind?
I have some Q to ask if so. Even if not, Karl Jung wrote about the changing path in life of the woman seeking her independence and the man seeking a more emotional connection. Part of his work on Anima and Animus. Some of SE thread follows that and shows a connection. Comments?
