NC is the best way to detach and stop chasing and lose interest (temporarily) while her affair peaks and then dies.
You know my sitch but I had NC with WH during April-June, and it totally helped me to detach. I would have kept it up for longer but our baby was born in July. The NC didn't bring him back, but at least I was in less pain. I would have been immersed in a NEW LIFE currently if I didn't give birth 4 months ago.
I am not able to be in NC currently so I am gambling on my caring, no pressure, apathetic strategy to show him a path back. I believe there is a 50% chance(haha) it could work ONLY because it has been over 7 months and I suspect the A is losing it's gloss. However I would have given this a 1% chance of working 6 months ago due to the newness of the A.
My point? Bravo for going NC sooner than later...it is the least painful way for you to GAL while her affair burns out. It WILL end. Whether or not you will still want her at that time is uncertain!
