Cherry, I do think it basically works when the roles are reversed. I think the dynamics or makeup of the male wayward H's and his female LBW are somewhat different from the WW & LBH. The waywardness in a woman begins in her heart when she harbors resentment and disrespect for her H. That seems to be the root that grows into larger problems. The woman is wired to where she has to feel respect for her H in order to feel loving desire for him. Therefore, the LBH has to start at that point..........respect.
When the man is wayward, I think he has to see his LBW completely let go of him and see her as an individual who does not depend on him. I believe it easier to draw the WH back in the MR, b/c of the way is wired. However, she won't do it if she is nagging and spewing on him. The clinging, crying, and begging has to go. She needs to be like she was when he was dating her. He needs admiration, show of respect, peace in his household, sexual desire from his W. He needs to see his W happy. He needs to see his W having a calm, sweet, attitude. He needs to see his W looking attractive. He needs to break the boredom........especially in the bedroom. I won't go on about it b/c I don't have a man's makeup.
These things I've stated came from books I have read. You can gather information about what men need to be happy, what makes them attracted to a woman, etc., on the Internet. Funny how women seem to know how to get a man..........but then she changes after M, and she stops doing what she did when he fell in love with her. She stops being that woman.
I have heard and read from men who say that they are not as complicated as the woman........so take that as a plus.
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!
