Thank you.

Hopefully we can have this discussion in a friendly and civil manner. We are all here to give and receive support, and hopefully restore some marriages where possible.

Please consider the following hypothetical scenario. Suppose a walk-away spouse and a left-behind spouse spend some time together and one thing leads to another and they end up in bed together. The next day the LBS feels like proposing getting back together. But I would bet that most realize that it is probably better to instead give the WAS spouse some space and not rush things. But then the WAS is not being authentic to his/her feelings. If you are going against your feelings in order to give the relationship its best shot are you not playing a game?
