For the VETS: From experience and reading, what do you see or what trends have you noticed between a WW who shares this information openly or a WW who states just friends when the name comes up and never mentions anything about the OM to H?
I think that it doesnt matter what kind of relationship the WS and the AP have - it's more or less doomed to fail from the beginning. The successful DBing is about the LBS. The more you worry about their relationship, the worse chance you have of the WS returning.
This is not a process of waiting around for the WS to come back. This is about becoming a person the WS would WANT to come back TO.
You cant beat the AP at their game; any effort to try is wasted.
