I haven't followed the prescribed advice exactly in terms of boundaries because I'm trying to keep an air of normalcy while I collect evidence, but there's really so much comfort in detaching. The more I've let go the better I've felt. I'm almost to the point of indifference now and it's so much easier to function day-to-day. I'm almost excited about the next person if that time comes.

Sounds like you're doing well! I'm still new myself, but your last post reads well and is motivating.

Part of your change should be dressing like a man. Not a boy. Dress with style.

I'm normally wearing suits, I dress very nice.

No T-Shirts, no Polo Shirts.... a rarity to even wear jeans.

Do need more nice casual stuff though.

You are the exception here. Most need to "mature" there style.

Ever since I dropped weight I have been dressing very nice. Chinos, nice shoes I.E Aldo, nice button up shirts with rolled sleeves. I used to dress in t shirts, jeans and Nikes. I also bought a few fitted suits.

I was actually accused of being "vain" by the EXWW because I dress nice now.

I agree, its when they commit themselves to their EA or PA. All the red flags come up. You can literally search online for "Infidelity Red Flags".

You will start seeing them because its a script.

I saw the following changes starting in March 2018

Hiding the phone
Obsession with exercise
Obsession with looks
Change of hair style
Synthetic Nails
Fake Eyelashes
Change of grooming habits (started shaving it all off down there when she would never do that for me when I asked)
Hiding the phone like crazy
Hiding her laptop like crazy
Coming home late
Sitting in her car in the garage late to talk on the phone (OM lives out of state with his wife, kids and grandkids)
Finding reasons to leave the house (I followed her and found her talking on the phone in her car at the gas station)
Increase in traveling for work (OM is her boss)
Ignoring me while traveling (used to talk to me all day in text and every night before bed)
Increase in alcohol consumption (Went from a glass of wine every few days to two bottles per night)
Changed clothes (started buying cocktail dresses instead of business attire for work trips)
Started leaving earlier for travel and coming back later, I.E leaving Sunday Morning when work meeting was Tuesday. Coming back the following Monday when work ended the Friday before (used to make a point to be home on weekends and travel home immediately when she was done with work)
Increase in younger/single/divorced friends (Made friends with divorced/progressive women from Yoga classes)
Distancing herself from kids and I
Getting mad when we questioned why she was traveling so much (travel went from once every few months to every other week for a full week)
Removed herself from my credit card as authorized user (This is a biggie, they separate their finances)
Started putting me down all the time
Started telling me I was worthless
Started telling me I was smothering her
Started telling me she needed space

Boom BD, ILYBIDLY
Boom confirmation of PA

Ah ha!!!! Now I get it..... that makes perfect sense.

Thank you very much, that is super useful. Answers a big question I couldn't figure out.

This is a general question.....

Is it universal that these MLC'ers will not go to church?
I'm really surprised how absolutely against going she's turned... it's very very shocking.
If I was in crisis, I'd be running to church.

Does this also mean MLC'ers stop praying? I haven't seen my W pray since this started and now that I think about it..... not for a long time before either.
