I dont know. Once the 'angry make-up' sex has run its course, that woman had better have made some serious and honest changes toward working on this marriage!.

Where is manipulation when the man finally gives up and wants to walk away himself? Found there is a life outside this hell of being crapped on by his wife; found there might be someone else who wants to be with him EXCLUSIVELY, faithfully and honestly. Oh, Then the wife decides, 'oh my, i really didnt want this to end up like this' and back pedals.

you have me thinking, is this yet more silly game playing and manipulation by the Walk-Away-Wife. Give him a little sex, he likes sex, he thinks sex fixes everything. It will keep him in toe for a while. hmmmmm....
