I used that meeting time, to be upbeat, smiley, and ready for the future with or without her.

When she is coming round with papers.. she is expecting you to cry and grovel.. when I didn't do that and was happy to go along with things it took her by surprise a little.

A few weeks later she asked if we can spend some time together, from that moment on I made it my mission, never to ask about R, never not to be seen sad or depressed and be decisive.


I think this is one thing that most LBS'ers lose sight of. The WW has a certain expectation of how they think we should feel. I believe that if we act how they think we should then that re-enforces to them that they made the right decision.

Obviously it still takes two to make the MR work and continue but this dynamic is very important IMO.
