MWD says in DR that there should be 1 month of work for every 1 year of hurt. That means almost a whole YEAR of work
Does that seem like a long time? Because it's really not. Most of the reconciliation stories here involved at least a year of DB'ing, often it was much longer than a year. You'll see it said often here that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

How long can I or should I employ MWD's techniques without a response before I give up?
DB'ing is all about working on yourself and leaving your WAS alone. Make yourself into the spouse only a fool would leave. Then -maybe- she'll consider getting back together. But to answer your question, since you're working on YOU, you don't ever give up. It's for life.
