The pursuit and distance concept did not workout for me. It might have brought her closer to the extent the pressure was removed but it did not bring her closer wanting to know about my life, what I was doing, it never caused her to ask more questions or to show an interest in my comings and goings. I do know that it helped me heal which is more important.
Well, I'd say the distance definitely helped you heal, the most important part of all. So yeah, it was worth doing.
All we can do is create a scenario where the WAS has the opportunity to change direction. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes it doesn't. The desire for them to come back has to come from inside them, and that's something we have no control over.
