In Jeff's example, the relationship is abusive, when one spouse can suggest to other spouse that they "tryout" for the position of their spouse, they've relegated that relationship to nothing more than being a joke.
I see this in any suggestion by a WAS that "I'll wait until X (30 days, after Xmas, etc) and make a decision then. Let's see how things go" - it puts the LBS into a "try out" mode.

If you partner doesn't value you or the relationship they have with you, you need to detach and let go of them.
