Personal stories: my dad- mom was a WAW and tried to return after 2 years of living alone and multiple OM but he was done. My stepdad- his XW was a WAW and she tried to reconcile after 2 years of almost no contact. He too had moved on. A buddy of mine- his WAW approached him after 2 years of not talking at all and just wanted to be a friend, they started going out and eventually ML and now they're madly in love again. Then I was listening to a radio show and there it was again, a man was talking about how he and his XW were back together after 2 years (it was actually a financial advice show, so no details on that story). I've dug around into some really old threads here and maybe it's because that 2 year thing is stuck in my head from the above stories, but I keep seeing that number recur.
