Also to add a bit more,if you go NC / dark long with a WAW, they will think the below-

1) you have given up onthem
2) you dont deserve them or you deserve someone better
3) Their mindset will strengthen the need to move on without you because they are thinking you have moved on.
4) they develop more apathy towards you and distance increases
5) they become very vulnerable and may fall a good chance for other males to get attracted or they start exploring new avenues.
