Linda,

The DBing is the working on myself? uR I have to be honest, I thought if I worked on myself, fixed all of the crappy things about me, got my happiness back AND gave him the space etc, I would have a better chance that his heart would return to me when his MLC is over. That is why I am standing. Is that wrong?

It is the added benefit of DBing which is improving yourself and changing habits & patterns that you do NOT like about yourself. How you act, react, and respond based on DBing principles does lessen the negative effects on the WAS to a certain degree. I need to gently remind you that it is no iron clad guarantee that the WAS will return to the M. It is a 50/50 chance. I'd take it anyway.

This is why we all urge and encourage DBers to detach and focus on themselves rather than watching the paint dry at MLC Museum.
