Had an interesting conversation today with a couple in my church. H left his W for another woman and was gone two years; they've now reconciled and been back together 5 years, and are so lovey it's almost gross!
Great story! I was listening to a financial advice show the other day and a guy called in who was divorced for 2 years before they got back together. I have heard so many similar stories since my sitch started, and 2 years is the most common number I've heard in time that it takes for the WAS to come back. I wish there was more solid data on this so people could go into DB'ing with realistic expectations. I know I was expecting things to turn around in weeks and I think a lot of others expect that too. Many marriages never reconcile because after 2 years the LBS has walled themselves off to the WAS. It seems like 6 months to a year is about as long as most LBS's are willing to stand, but rarely does a WAS clear the fog that quickly. I think if LBS's were more patient that many more marriages would reconcile.
