I have been posting in newcomers for a while and have asked one or two questions before about MLC but didn't get any response. I thought if I started something here some of you experts might help me out.
Brief resume: W of 20 odd years told me at the end of Sept. that her feelings for me had changed last winter and she now loved me as a best friend and nothing more. 7 weeks later she was seeing someone else for parties and sex once a week. She said she didn't want anything serious with him. We continued to live together until 10 days ago when I asked her to leave. Only contact since then has been texts, in which she seems odd e.g. thanking me repeatedly for things I've done.
My question is, is this a MLC?
For: she is 42 (today) she suffers from low self esteem and acknowledges this> broke down about it 2 weeks ago she has seemed depressed for a while said her guilt was 'consuming' her she has always been a big drinker but this seems to have got worse over the last year or so obviously the affair, with another big drinker feels life is passing her by wears a mask of being ok, but it slips sometimes has had recurrent dreams about a car she owned in her early 20s used to be very concerned about her looks, isn't really bothered any more
Against: Our relationship had stagnated so it might have nothing to do with MLC apart from one time she hasn't been really unpleasant to me, although she hardened herself certainly
Currently, I know she's upset and is very tearful (other people have told me this). Is this consistent with MLC?
