My wife is an angel. My mom used to scream at me to snap out of it one day and then be sorry the next day, after the damage was done. But she retired and moved out of US. She had some form of MI too. I never quite figured this out and she wouldn't admit anything.

I have a remote, internet based relationship (the other side of the planet) with my younger brother. He doesn't get it either: "come here for a few beers and you'll be out of it in no time".

As if there was was no beer in USA...
