My wife is about 5 weeks in to her mlc, I knew nothing about all this when it started but after reading loads of websites I'm catching up, the first post could be describing my wife exactly, she must be a text book case, I wish I could get her to read it cos she hasn't got a clue whats happening to her.
 I've been promoted from " I don't know why I love you" to " I don't love you and I'm not coming back", think this was because I answered back too sharply one morning, have backed off a little now. It's great to find this site, I'm not alone!

jaydaz,
the last thing you need to do right now is try to convince her that she is in MLC. all it will do is drive her further away and feed more fuel to her fire. read all you can on here and you will notice a most definite pattern. just some cause more damage then others.
go to the introduce yourself section and give us your story. it is a healthy way of release. vent on here, not on her......

Wow, is this a book they read or something.  With the exception of having an affair (which I'm 99% sure hasn't happened yet), this is dead on to what my wife of 25 years has said and done.  I'm not going to tell my story because the MLC for Dummies says everything that happened.  Do divorce lawyers give them this or something?

Damn Guys!  If it wasn't so sarcastic, Id send it to her!!  Im still coming to grips with the fact that she has to make herself happy and that Im not the cause of her unhappiness!  She wont even consider that this is a MSC!  I just have to trust the process.  I asked her to move out this weekend and starting yesterday, she's living w/her mom n dad.  Im just hoping she see's before she has to start dating, but Im sure Im just being stupid.  I just dont know if I could take her back after that.

All of this stuff is so common, why cant she see that its not her marriage/spouse??

I know this was said in other threads, but it bears repeating here: Do NOT try to convince her that 1) she's in midlife crisis or 2) that it is about HER. Neither comment will go over very well.

I loved this!  In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to add some of my own experiences to this.  Ironically, once I got into it, I found it to be therapeutic.  I also discovered that it helped me to get into my wife's mind about how she may emotionally react next time around.  I will post the cleaned up version with my additions in another reply.  Thank you for the satire.  This makes the journey a little bit easier once you have a different viewpoint to help stand into her shoes.
