Yes there are some success stories, couples who reconciled because the WAS had time to let the affair run its course, and then came to appreciate the spouse more. And there are a lot of examples of people who did end up divorced, but feel that DB helped them to be better, happier, and stronger people. And most of those people are satisfied with the effort they put forth anyway. Everyone here will tell you to DB for yourself, to help you close the emotional wound and move on. If she comes back, great. If she doesn't, then you will go on to have a happy life anyway.
