John, No business trip, Germany is my home country.
I have an interesting story for all of you here in the MLC forum.
Almost exactly 10 years ago, my then GF I was with for at least 7 years became a WAW. She was 33 at the time, diagnosed w/type I diabetes 2 years earlier and I helped her through this difficult time. She said she wanted to have fun, do exciting things in life, and it had nothing to do with me. Two weeks later I found out about Om she met on internet (So this year I actually had history repeating itself). She moved in w/him, gave up a decent job, same old story. With the knowledge I have now I think it was an early case of MLC triggered by her illness.
Anyway, I kept in contact w/her family and visited during my trip. She was there too. I talked w/her for a long time. She lives again at home w/her parents, single, bitter about life. Om didn't work out, what a surprise. Then she told me that after about 3-5 years she realized what she had destroyed. She didn't say 3-5 years after what, but I can think of only one event, her walking.
I'm the one who got a good job in a different country and had the exciting life. And I felt nothing but sorry for her. I would not want to be w/her. But she did come out of it.
And I have the strange feeling that history will repeat itself again, and my current WAW will end up at a similar place. Only now w/our D5 hurt as well.
