I believe statistically women are more successful at reconciling than men. I don't recall the exact sources, but I found the research while going through my own research. I think it has to do with women being more emotionally attached to the OP while for men it's often a physical attraction more than emotional so it's easier to compartmentalize.
That being said, there are a number of women who have DB'd successfully. But your sitch is your sitch. Do what works for YOU.
