Very close to giving up

...after their fantasy collapses and she experiences loss.

Sandi2--

There must be many different ways that WW's are awakened from their fantasies, and much depends on individual situations and *personalities* of the WW's.

What are some of the ways that you've seen WW's wake up? When they're rejected by OM's? (But some keep seeking more/other OM's...?) In particular, I'm wondering if WW's wake up from practical/economic results of divorce or separation. For example, if a SAHM realizes she needs to work 40 hrs at a menial job after a D ... could that wake her up? It seems many WW's -- since they are primarily driven by emotions/immaturity -- practical consequences just aren't going to wake them up?

I realize there are no concrete rules... just wanting to hear thoughts/opinions.
