I have just begun a period of NC with my w in my situation. Who knows how long it will last.
In the mean time I thought I would reopen this thread.
Here is a thought ... What if certain aspects of people's situations could be roughly categorized. Suppose that for people in category A, we can see that doing action X tends to lead to a more positive outcome than not doing action X.
There is already some of this in the DR and DB books. But more could be done. There are enough situations being detailed in this forum and others that some very useful research could be performed.
Thoughts?
