The recons don't happen until the LBH gets fed up and says "enough, I'm no one's door mat" and goes about the business of getting a life. It doesn't always bring the WW back but more often than not, by the time the LBH gets to that point he's not even sure he wants her back anymore.
AS, I may be either approaching or at that point. As I said the other day, I'm not sure that I can love W the way I used to.
But the other side of the coin is do either one of us really want the old MR back?
