Likely he got tired of waiting or had no intention of it becoming anything permanent or found a new side piece, or any number of reasons why AP's dump the WW. Regardless, this is going to last a while (her sadness). She was addicted to the A and it will take her a while to get over the addiction. Detachment means what it always means, remain calm, cool. When she wants to talk, listen and validate her feelings. And make sure you aren't sitting around waiting for her. That means GAL like a madman. Stay as busy as you possibly can, even if that is just being outside doing yard work.

In 2005 when my wife went through her EA withdrawal, it was a good 6 weeks before she was back to any semblance of normal.
