Just thought of a question I had yesterday. I was reading other threads and there was a debate about how long is "long enough" in regards to the WAS spouse showing signs of warmth towards the LBS. The crux of the discussion actually revolved around WHEN the clock starts for the WAS compared to the LBS. ie. the LBS may consider the clock starting at BD while the WAS may consider it starting at separation itself.

Now, my wife and I have been separated since the end of November however my parents are living with us and won't be leaving until early February. In my mind, my DBing efforts started in early December but it could be argued that my wife won't actually consider the start of our separation until my parents move out and we begin putting our separation plans into action.

Does anyone have any thoughts regarding this?
