Yep, I know a guy (the one who gave me my book) did just that! his W moved her stuff out while he was away from the house... she did not have an affair.. she lived with her sister until she got a apt. they had little to no contact at all.. he told me it was hell.. he thought it was over and was getting ready to give up when the rare talks picked up.. they bassically started "dating" again and they are now very happy..
a few note worthy things he told me where
* they saw IC and she stopped going, she said many of the common WAS things
* Her parents and family were not happy with her leaving. but once they all backed off and things cooled down she made more contact with H
* He did not make any phone calls to her or try to find reasons to contact her
* When she did come back he never asked her in depth Why? He let her say what she wanted to say. (he was able to do this)
so there is hope and it seems more than going "dark" is the STOP CHASING?HELPING!!!!!!
