Gigi,

I do not think your sister is even close to being a WAW..... In my mind, that term means someone who just leaves WITHOUT trying... We can argue forever about if your sister really "tried"..... BUT...

I think the fact they lived in separate bedrooms...
He KNEW there were problems....

The fact he was blatantly carrying on with OW.....
He KNEW there were problems....

So, this was NOT a case of a W just "ending it"........

Take Care,
