I noticed at the end of your profile, you say your exW showed classic symptoms of MLC at 35. Could you offer some details? I don't know much about MLC.

Sure. Most of these are commonly referred to as signs of an affair as well. There is some overlap with MLC behaviors.

Yep - mine suddenly had extra holes put in her ears and announced she wanted to take up sky diving. I swear I am not making this up.

LOL, WAT! That reminded me of the pierced navel. Also, her attitude on motorcycles went from "You can't have one, they're too dangerous" to "I rode from work to the bar with <boss> on his motorcycle."

Thanks. Haven't really seen any of those signs though.

The bellybutton thing reminds me of something WW said early on... She made some comment about telling OM that she wanted to get her bellybutton pierced and he was like, "no way will you do such a thing!".... Not a good thing to say to a MLC-girl!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> OTOH, I was like, "hey, cool - go for it!" hahahahaa.
