I think there is a substantial difference between "letting go" and "pushing away." Having said that, not every case involves a true WAW as described by MWD.
What do you think pushes somebody away? Agreeing with them or arguing with them?
Just something to think about.
If somebody tells you, "I am miserable, I am not in love with you, I am moving out and have already found an apartment, I have already seen an attorney, and as soon as I sign the paperwork, I will be filing for divorce", are you going to try to argue with them?
That question is an example of the logical fallacy known as the "false dilemma" because those are not the choices. As I said, there is a difference between "letting go" and "pushing away." (However, in the case of infidelity, for instance, "pushing away" may be the best choice.) Letting go certainly would not entail arguing with them.
