Thank you 25 that was beautifully written. Maybe I should explain myself better than what I did. I do agree fully with you, that the WAS probably doesn't get to ride the wave. It more the view of what it seems like, especially at the beginning of the sitch. It seems that the WAS, is the happy person, the one who has "moved" on so to speak, the one who doesn't sit at home wondering what happened, what went wrong. They mostly don't do all the work about how can I fix/repair/be better my marriage. It does seem that the WAS, doesn't care about the bills they have left, the house, the kids (sometimes). And that is what I was more writing about. What I do agree about, is yes, the LBS is the one who improves, who can hold their head high, knowing they did everything possible to fix their marriage. The LBS is the one who doesn't feel guilty down the track or who won't regret things.
So humbly, I apologise, because my comment could of and should of have been more thoughful about what I was trying to get across. What we see and believe at the time, is not necessarily what the WAS is going through.
