it is primarily designed to work in situations where theres still a legal tie between two people...a marriage.
That's crap. I'm not married and it worked for me. From the day the bomb was dropped and when BF wanted to come home was just under four months. Because I listened to the advice here and followed it. That includes the first month before I found DR and this forum. It would have been shorter had I not gotten conflicting advice from a DB coach that put me back about a month.
Go ahead, keep acting like a spoiled child who didn't get his way. Throw temper tantrums. That's just going to push ex further away and increase the likelihood that she'll keep running and won't ever look back. I think that's the best solution.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
