We are both 43; W born the day before me. I like to tell others that I married an older woman. (Hey, at one time she was TWICE my age!) <P>Married 15 this September; met 18 years ago.<P>Her EA probably started at 40-41. I believe it to be at the PA stage. No certain evidence.<P>No interest in following into the MLC thing, really!<P>RRunRR<P>

I am 43 (until Aug.) H just turned 47 (in May). Married for 26 years. MLC? BIG TIME!!!!! H is Sadboy, with whom I'm very much in love. It was because he handled his MLC in such a constructive way that we believe we'll be together FOREVER!! He did a complete turn around. He had been soooo closed off and would not give me the intimacy I craved until about 1 1/2 years ago. (Problems with Pornography?). He announced out of the blue that he wanted MORE intimacy, not less or else he wanted out!!! This announcement was met with tears of relief on my part. Unfortunately, I had already not fared so well with my MLC. I started an affair just before I turned 40. This was revealed to H last Jan. I had already ended it. I wish he had started into his constructive MLC before I started into my destructive one. Anyway with help from MB principles, many of you might be able to avoid a "bad" MLC and turn it into a "good" one. Yeah! (Now if I could only get over the sting of losing the good looks I used to be so proud of). Oh well, at least I wake up every morning next to my one and only! I am truly blessed!!!!

I am 35 and my H is 50. OW is my age. I thought I was his MLC when we got together 13 years ago - but I was wrong. This is it in all the ways. . .attitude, girlfriend, clothes, jewlery, etc. He is a great Dad to our 4yr old son - but has almost abandonded is 24 year old son (bc of bad choices son made in his life. . . now H is making the same kind.) Go figure!!<P>
