My pleasure, glad you all found it inspirational The buddy in question has been a good friend for over 20 years. He is a really nice, laid back guy. I can't remember ever hearing him raise his voice or show anger. Hard to imagine his W could have laid so much fault on him, it just made no sense. Sometimes WAS's complaints are valid and sometimes they're just spew from the fog. His reconciliation had more to do with giving his W time and space than any changes he made in himself, because he really didn't make any changes. He just stayed true to himself and he left her alone. I'm not saying we shouldn't change ourselves, we should always strive to be better. But his story highlights that the WAS's path is just as much about their personal journey as it is about the LBS doing things to draw them back.
