This thread got me a bit nervous initially...my H doesn't seem to say quite the same things so I got to wondering if mine is really MLC. I don't know why that matters but it does. But then i got a few "hits"
It's not you it's me
I'm in a bad place, I'm not happy and I haven't been happy for a long time
We drifted apart
We've become different people (yea 25 years and 2 kids will do that)
You'll find someone else
You're a good person but I just can't be with you any more
iLYBINILWY
I still care about you but my feelings have changed
It is what it is
Why are you upset? We've talked about this. (We haven't)
Home is not the haven it used to me
I felt marginalised in my own home (well, join in instead of sitting on the sidelines)
We were too insular ( what does that even mean?)
I was too organised, kept the house too tidy
Regarding MC: it won't change anything for me but it might help me find the words to tell you why I need to leave
I don't know what the future hold, or where I'll be, coz I've got no ties (ummmm....2 children?)
Regarding OW to.D11: it's not serious
To D18 who suggested he tell me about OW before telling D11: why would I tell her? (Maybe coz I'm your wife and the mother of the 11 year old you are about to devastate)
There, i feel better now.
