Absolutely! GALing also helps keep the old sanity in check.
While my H blows hot and cold, I don't get wrapped up in HIS drama.
Well, I can tell you Bill, it might not make all that much difference. I am working my end, but he is not working his. I suspect (after having read some of the reconciliation posts), that most S's aren't anywhere near 'getting it' when reconciling happens. So, the road for us continues.
So, yes, it is better definitely that full blown rejection, but still not quite a comfortable relationship.
