You seem to have a pretty good grasp of general DBing guidelines and its good to see this happening early on in your sitch.

A word to the wise about "expecting being served with divorce papers" as it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. You would want to focus on reconciliation and on how envision it will come about. Focus on how your words, actions, and behaviors can effect your interactions with W.
As for your question, here is what I have to say:
If I can change into God, then just maybe I'll be able to read the crystal ball perfectly. Who knows how your sitch will turn out. However, I do want to emphasize that your actions DO have influence on W and your situation.
We cannot answer this because we are not inside your W's mind. This process is different for each OP based on their personalities, backgrounds, cultural influences, etc. Some WASes do see how things are playing out. Some just simply push forward because it is very hard for them to climb down from this path and admit that they were/are wrong.
Unfortunately, as long as they get their "fix" or "hit" from the OP drug they're not in a reflective state of mind. It is all ME...ME...ME.
Having been around the boards for quite bit, I have NEVER seen a M turn around in 8 months or less. The average, based on my direct observations here, is usually between 1 to 2 years of hard core DBing.
All of this is dependent on the free-will choices of both parties and their intention.
