What I meant by the honesty comment was that I believe there isn't much acknowledgment of the fact that in most cases they don't come back. When I posted regularly I was guilty of "blowing sunshine" on a pretty regular basis, now that I have stepped back from the boards and have my eyes and ears open to real life as it is I am seeing things a little differently, perhaps I am a little jaded but I will say this I have a good feeling that with DB on my part my W would come back. The fact that she is pregnant with OM child finished it for me, I am a LBS who had to choose not to continue.
I agree that data is faulty but I doubt there will ever be a serious study as to the why of the current D rate in North America.
MMF,
Stop blowing sunshine at me
I agree in most cases the LBS is the one who ends it weather immediately or after much thought but I believe that if the MLCer had true intentions upon awakening they would work very hard at trying to change the LBS mind.
FWIW if I had to predict a few restored M on this board yours would be one of them. Not because of your W, her actions or inactions but because of you. You are really showing your strength and I would imagine she may see that. I don't think this will happen overnight though.
