DBD, I wonder the same thing too about my M and my WAS. As discussed previously, the outside world, friends and family want us to close the door on the M, and think we are crazy for thinking that there is a way that the M might work. I am thinking that we as LBS have to cross the bridge of "do we want them back" if and when the WAS comes back.
People avoid conflict. People avoid shades of grey. Hits close to home. So they pick the easy path.
Its your choice not theirs.
And when they come back... Say no.
Let them earn it. And start a new relationship.
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
