[Wed2Him?Whatever.]

From what I understand laughter is a reaction to being surprised and not necessarily to finding something humorous.  Maybe in your situation he laughed because up until that point he hadn't thoroughly considered the financial side of things, and we know they do not tend to consider much of anything thoroughly when they're in the throes of an MLC.
I know in my own situation, I am appalled by the things my husband will laugh at these days.  I can't believe the garbage that he watches and listens to.  And a couple of days ago, he even made some stupid insensitive joke about a woman being abused by some guy, her boyfriend or husband or whatever.  He knows my dad was abusive to my mom, and that I had my own abusive ex-fiance, so his little "joke" came completely out of left field.  I did my best to stay detached and not allow him to see this or anything else can bother me, but I couldn't help just give him a look to say, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

My H very rarely laughs, can't think of anytime he's laighed much. I am the one who sometimes laughs at a crazy thing he does or says ... and he doesn't like that at all. He says I'm laughing at him ... when I actually am laughing at the words or the action!!

Hey L,

Funny that you mention that.  It reminded me of when my W would bump into something recently or do something that in all our years past we would both laugh at.  Now she gives me a hateful look and accuses me of taking pleasure in her pain.  And this for parking her car crooked?  She acts like she believes that I'm the sociopathic one!!

Just yesterday, i called h on this. I forget what we were talking about, something serious, and he laughed. I said, "Don't laugh at me!!!" He said, "I didn't laugh." "yes you did! just now, you laughed at what i said!". I walked away into the house. After he left, he sent me a text, "I would never laugh at you."  And 5 minutes later, "Nerves". IDK if he meant nerves as in he is nervous around me, or mistyped, never. Doesn't matter. Weird. I didn't respond.

From another perspective, I know my teens, especially the two that are awkward socially, do laugh at inappropriate times, especially in their early teen years(13, 14, 15) So this may be the reason our teen MLCers do it. IDK.

LGO - that's interesting about the teen regression with this.
During the first year and a half post BD we would see this inappropriate and infantile laughing - but as with everything else, it cycled.

We haven't seen it for a few months now.

Whoah.... Thundarr!! At the risk of sounding all preachy and such.... it sounds like "the devil" at work here.... I will share that my own husband has blasphemed my own spiritual beliefs, though not "mainstream", recently.... he was ANGRY!! Jim Conway outlines that this is COMMON... the MLCer is ANGRY AT GOD for making them or allowing them to be this way.... in the one breath my husband asked why I didnt' ask "the Angels" to bring him home to me... in the other breath "F your angels!! what do you think of THAT!!!???"

MLCers are angry and disillusioned.... about everything, including God and the Government....personally, it's so crazy, I don't even dispute what he says... I just let him BLOW... get all that anger out.... it's not personal.

Hey LG,

I just enjoy watching her spew at the world, her job, other drivers or anything other than me.  Heaven knows I've been the recipient of enough of her venom.  I just wish she would focus it all somewhere besides me and the family and I would join in with her.  If only......
