I've heard of that happening, but I wouldn't count on it. If she is dating other people, how does he think she will want to reconcile? I'm no expert, but if she is already playing the field I'm not sure your chances are that great. Women don't generally date unless they've given up and moved on, and by that time it's a complete up hill battle.

Reconciliation during mediation happened more often when therapist were doing mediation. Now it's mostly lawyers and social workers who don't really care about your marriage. This guy may be a therapist, you should probably check out his pedigree.

I can tell you from my experience in mediation, that the mediator didn't want to talk about the relationship. It was strictly about the visitation schedule and the 'best interest of the children.'

Good Luck
