Copied from Emo's thread for Mr. Py (discussing the tendency to reach a verdict of "no" to reconciliation so the case could be finally closed and we can bypass the grieving process...not that that even happens):
My opinion- you DON'T have to think about it again and again. Just detach. Don't worry about it. If the day comes WAS comes back, then see how you feel THEN, see what transpired, the context it was in, do some soul searching...maybe even let some time pass, get to know WAS, go to some counseling, see if you feel it was circumstantial and situational temporary insanity, or if it's character flaws, can it be worked through, can you make some sacrifices, etc. I think it can be a tough decision, but we're talking about an M, I don't like just closing a door because the flow chart you made in month 1 after BD said so! Granted, a PA is a serious thing...but even still, these are just my thoughts.
