W moving out & says that it's permanent - Part 2

[Heywyre]

However, that same phrase can also have the reverse effect on someone. When my H was pretty much adament that we were splitting, I said "will you still be my friend?" and things started changing from that point forward.

We still have a long, long way to go but he still brings what I said up and tells me how he really had to look at things differently when I said that.

So it can have the reverse effect too, I guess it just depends on who says it
