As always great post Steve, very insightful . I see most of the warning signs in my sitch too but about 3 months before BD. I understand you say WAHs can be impulsive but exactly 11 months prior BD we conceived Baby 2. She was 10 weeks at BD. What I cannot understand in my sitch is how can someone go from wanting to have another child to not wanting MR in 11 months? I know WAH and WAW think and act differently but in a man’s perspective does this time even make sense? And I can see how OP is a side effect not the root cause for most sitches
Detachment is a process for a LBS, final stages of grief where we move into acceptance. If LBSs didn’t beg, plead, pursue it probably was because they must have been done with MR too at BD right ?
