WAW? Would Love Opinions. Thanks! Part 6

[Painful]

Here is another twist tho, and I am no expert, but this topic (of our S doing a 180 and coming back), is where I THINK (IMO) we see a big difference between Walkaways and Waywards. I think when our S is wayward AND leaves us for OP, and that relationship starts to become reality (which is usually a disaster), while at the same time they see the S is done, there can be a shock to the system. They realize they made a mistake and that the S is no longer plan B. That makes the AP person look even worse in their eyes and it can quickly become a downward spiral. This was certainly the case with my H and he did a 180 and came back very quickly, in a couple weeks.

Why does it feel from many threads that WHs change their minds and want R SO MUCH FASTER than WWs -- weeks/few months versus many months/years??? Is it because WWs take longer to take the plunge to leave their husbands so it's harder for them to turn around? Is it their desire to "punish" their LBHs for their unhappiness in M? Is it the female desire to always be right and show the world they can make it work with OMs against all common sense and statistics?
