OK, I got a giggle out of the joke. I'll admit it.
Back to the work at hand.
Jack, I have to agree with you when you cast a tiny squint of doubt on all the holy writ about MLC.
And I have to squint a bit when my W tells me about her inky plans.
Yeah, yeah, it's all nuts. But I'm more than halfway nuts myself, and I usually do not give up trying to figure things out. I haven't driven myself utterly batty doing it yet, so it's a hard habit to break.
See, I'm HOPING that your read on it is correct, ie. that some little part of her loves me, wants to stay, etc. Actually, I know that a good bit of that is somewhere.
The W told me that when she was "visiting her friend," she kept thinking if there was a way to come back to me. Of course, she "realized" that it was impossible, but the matter was on her brain at least.
Now if the DB method is to switch things up to "change the dynamic," I'd like to get her all in a whirl by contradicting her idea that our marriage would necessarily keep her away from "becoming herself".
Apparently the OM is a past master at "supporting" her through her life-changes, one of which is leaving me. And I say this recognizing that he has probably done her some good - she never confronted some things before, and he's pushed her in those directions. Of course, he's a POS who doesn't care that she's still married, and a double-POS who emphasizes how much better she would be with him (+20 years, bi-polar, mental cretin, moneybags, problems with rich daddy, etc.)
What sort of visible things can be done to brighten my appearance next to this shining light of wisdom, compassion, and overall heavenliness?
