I don't want to rain on anyones parade or disregard any of the successful men who managed to restore the M but I do think we need to be a little more honest in what we are dealing with when it comes to MLC.


Lawless,

What exactly do you mean by this? A little more honest?
I do not think anyone here has ever blown sunshine up anyone's butt about the likelihood of reconciliation*. It is not a good ratio it never was for reconciliation. Sometimes the WAS is not in MLC, sometimes the LBS moves on, that also skews the successful numbers.

My perception forms my reality, and while my wife and I are working on our marriage, I do not use that as a measuring stick to the success of the DBing, because I never want to be so complacent that I say my marriage was fixed, I don't want to be that stupid again and rest on my laurels.

Data is faulty.
Me and my wife are working on our marriage. 1 couple = 100% support for DBing seeming to work. (If I only took myself as the percentage pool; and there are scumbag data crunchers out there who will throw percentage numbers to support their cause.)
Of course I could take the pool of M LBS who's W shows no signs of reconciliation and those numbers would go entirely in the other direction.

* 4 times I have told people I think they have a good chance at reconciling based on what they wrote. One worked out, and one I'm not sure will the other 2 are up in the air, both will surprise me if they don't as long as the LBSs actually DBs and can do the time.
