Are there real life stories of people that have managed to save their relationships - men saving a walk away wife - by just holding out and staying the course?
Yes, there have been many over the years. I am not good about remembering names, but Mr. Bond, for one, held out a looooong time. Starsky is another man who had a WAW in an A. There is Jack3Beans who is still around. Most people leave the board after their M has been saved, but a few of us have stuck around. In recent years there was Coach, Robx, Allen, & Denver, just to name a few.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
