Bon, can't say that I felt the same pang.  I did love Owen telling him to grow up though.  (how many of us have wanted to say the same thing?).

T,
Remember I said I had no compassion for the MLCer?  I did!  For a nano second!
I guess I'm not all bad!  LOL!

Just watched Men of Certain age. Can't believe Terry slept with the young caterer. He does look really lost and rough. What happened to Erin ? This is the first episode I have watched in a long time. Actually kind of ironic my H had set it up to record on our DVR .We did watch one episode together the first night it was on . So I guess I don't have to worry about missing any episodes. :o

Limitless.... that article is EXCELLENT and my BF actually steered me to it yesterday...

The sad thing is the comments at the end of the article... by people in real life.... I understand they are just blowhards posting their "opinions" online, but it is an example of how most people THINK they would handle infidelity... that's why we get so little support from our friends and family... they think THEY would handle it better with their "self respect!!" that we don't have, LOL!!

Weird that she said he was a crazy person and "not her husband".... that she decided it was best to treat him like a friend rather than an enemy, and that she did her own work and regained her sense of irony and humor. She specifically said she hoped he would "snap out of it" and that on the family vacay she felt he was "waking up".... but the timeline of six months is short if it was MLC...

Interesting that he described himself as "feeling victimized... misunderstood.... taken for granted" in his marriage.... typcial MLC talk! That he was OBSESSED with his fantasy of a soul mate and how it blew up in his face, hahahahahahaha!! That he spent some time alone.... reflecting on his problems... I wonder at that six month timeline.... were they on the concorde? He fell "in love" with his OW, divorced his wife, broke up with OW, went of vacay with the family and woke up to his mistake in bailing on his wife all in six months?

I've got to get the book now to find out.... maybe the six month timeline was AFTER the divorce... IDK... but if it is SIMPLY written, like this article was, I feel it would be something valuable for my husband to read further on up the road... when he is questioning how he did the things he's been doing... and he might actually take a look at this one... maybe I'll ask my angels to guide  him to accidentally wander into a bookstore thinking it's a bar and have that book fall down on his head, LOL!!

I saw this on tonight and I really think it was MLC.  I couldn't get a sense of the timeline but I hope to get the book.  SO INTERESTING that he was a therapist....and REFUSED to leave his AP even when she had LYMPHOMA with three young kids.  To me that SCREAMS MLC.  Luckily in their case he had a extra nutty alienator whose mask dropped FAST and he was running in the other direction LOL!  Still didn't come home but woke up soon after.  Anyway I find the show to be really interesting...love that it's only success stories...Also you see through the stories in most of the affair cases their is some trigger...death, baby, something.

Rebel, it may be on twice a day. You know how these shows are.... they want to make sure you watch.

I've been watching also. I  bet  we will all see a little bit of our own stories as we continue to watch.

Hugs all! :)

Hi  hyperglad,

 I'm not sure... But the channel is called OWN, try that.  Do you have Dish network, or Direct TV there? If so, you will have it.
Hope you do. I just watched the lates one that Limitless was talking about. Really good.
