Also, are there typical stages of recovery for a WAS? Almost like what a LBS goes through.
Unfortunately no. Many WAS's will be absolutely cold and aloof for months and then literally overnight do a 180 and want to reconcile and pour out their love on the LBS. Others will show consistent positive signs along the way while others will do the pursue/ distance thing. And of course there are some that leave and never look back. There's no game plan, would be nice if there was so we could monitor where they are.
