I feel like he is having a great time, enjoying his new life,
I doubt it. I'm sure he will have his happy moments - but no way is it always a great time. I notice that quite a few of the WAH threads that are going on currently describe a husband who is still gone - but who are conflicted and confess to not being particularly happy.

Is it really that rare? I deal in data and analysis all day long - and I confess it drives me crazy that there are no reliable statistics about any of this (I can't help it - its how I'm made). I saw one the other day that said 70% of all separated couple get divorced, which I found to be depressing. Then I got to thinking- what does that really mean? Does that include all the situations where a spouse moved out, and the other one immediately filed for divorce in anger? My guess is that there is some difference between WAWs and WAHs, but that doesn't get split out, how many of those people do nothing constructive to help the situation? I guess my long winded point is - there's no apples to apples comparison to what we as individuals are going through - so who know how rare it really is?
