...and I am not implying that a WAS comes to their senses once the LBS has an A. What I meant is after the D is long over and the LBS has started another R, the WAS realizes that they truely messed up a good thing.

Heather - please consider leading a celibate and romance free life for a while. It will do you good to experience life outside the bounds of an R.

The odds are there that eventually a time will come where your H will desire what he had with you. If you really want to be with him long into your golden years, you will consider being patient for a year or two.
