No MLC I think...long history of narcissistic stuff...serial cheating, arrogance, entitlement, deceit and love bombing charm writ large.

But his new girlfriend might be a bit BPDish...screaming fights, old boyfriend says she is lovely but 'very intense' and it was most the most 'up and down' relationship he'd ever had...... ::)
Just what we need politically. A narcissist and a bordeline in No 10. Sigh.

I agree with Treasur on this ...I think if Boris is being a bit more fumbling\bumbling then its probably the late night drama/sex with his new BP girlfriend (who seems very controlling and ambitious ).
His private life is a shambles but he has always stayed with his poor long suffering wife,
This time he has bitten off more than he can chew but I don't think its MLC

Paul Hollywood/ Ant Macpartlan yes
Louise Rednapp definitely

I read about the Boris Johnson incident and to be honest, I just did not think of MLC. From what I have read, he has a history of extramarital affairs and divorces that goes back a long way. I also found the quote at the end of this article rather interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/22/boris-johnson-by-those-who-know-him

To me, this just seems like an inherent personality trait rather than a aberration from normal behavior for him.

Yikes! we have the same situation here in Brazil - except that the xwife (20 years married) is being investigated for illicit liasons in the present government. The current, young and beautiful wife (and mother of his only daughter, I believe) is coveted by all and sundry ::)

I am so tired of these politicians, they are all the same :P

Well if this wasn't a MLC disaster I don't know what is!

These MLCers and OP really are disgusting. Those poor kids. It must be horrible having parents like that, who only give a crap about themselves. She found an English husband real quick  ::) ::). Must be a geriatric patient or another MLC nutjob.

Boris is not an MLCer.  He has always been this way; if he's more chaotic than is usual even for him it's because his soon-to-be-ex-wife (who already was wife number 2) is no longer the stabilising influence that she has been for 25 years. 

Even his sister writes that she has to be careful around him, and that's not something new for her.

I just read that Jeff & MacKenzie Bezos settled their divorce, which was (very obviously) an MLC, and I got to thinking - who else?

There's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.  There's Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.  There's John and Elizabeth Edwards.

Anyone else that I'm forgetting?

Oh!!  Oh!!  I just remembered one more.....

John McCain, and his first wife

If you read his interviews, it's very clear that he had a MLC.  He talked about feeling shameful regarding the destruction of his first marriage. 

He did pay for his ex-wife's health insurance for life.....presumably out of guilt.

Don't know if anyone watches Big Little Lies on HBO, but last night's finale with dead-eyed PTSD/depressed Bonnie standing next to her dead mother, dealing with her FOO/mother's abuse and telling (her husband) Nathan she didn't love him and maybe never did punched me right in the gut.

(This after last week's episode where she told her mother she resented her for the abuse and for making her feel so worthless that she "settled for a man she didn't" love.)

Not an MLC.  Just a woman facing her abusive past and taking a deep look at herself.  It was gut wrenching.

I need to catch up with BLL Nas, but didn't Nathan cheat on his wife with Bonnie to begin with?  So maybe he was an MLCer, and she a broken OW. Which may be what you were saying.  I have only watched 1 episode this season....guess I'll be catching up tonight!

No, Nathan didn’t cheat on Madeline, he just abandoned her when their daughter was a baby. He’s a d!ck. But the storyline was that he had met and married Bonnie years later and was trying to be s better man.
So he gets his karma (about 16 years too late) for abandoning Madeline. But it was really hard to watch Bonnie tell him after a decade together that she “doesn’t love him and maybe never did.”
