I think most of us assume the low R rate is due to WW/WAW's leaving for good, moving on, and never looking back wanting to recon. AS's message goes completely against it whereas 13 out of 15 LBHs didn't want to R. Can that be true? It certainly blows my mind and I'd think the same could be said for Parkema, Btrow, and dozens of other LBHs currently posting here with their stories.
I think more or less all posters here come/came to save their M. If we werent, we wouldn't be here. So we are not really a representative sample of LBH's. And some months/years down the line, some of us will turn down the opportunity of R, should it arise.
A friend of mine was a LBH as his XW left to pursue a relationship with AP. 3 weeks later she came crawling back. He showed her the door. 6 months later she tried again. Same response. So not all LBH's want to reconsile. (10 years later she is married to AP btw, so plan A turned to plan B and back to plan A. So she had to settle for AP. Ironic, isn't it....)
