I believe this is the beginning of them starting to look inward. They are getting what they wanted and realise that it may not be as glossy as they were imagining. I do not think they think about what our life looks like without them just what there life looks like without us. This is a rude shock for them.
Not really, most WAS's are quite happy to be out and away from the LBS and starting their "new, exciting" life. I think most LBS's think "well once they move out they'll quickly realize what they're missing and come back", but that's a very unrealistic expectation to have. As we say a lot around here, it's a marathon, not a sprint. It takes many months if not years to lay the groundwork for reconciliation. There are no quick fixes or "triggers" that will snap the WAS out of it and bring them home.
