Burned. I appreciate the question. I think Steve was referring to, for example, if I filed I never would know if waiting, dbing and being amoafwl would have worked. Reading through the posts (yours included) the common theme is that as men we are doers and we feel like we have to do something, anything to move our lives forward. When in reality if we can just relax, sit back and let time do what it needs to, perhaps the WAW/WW will have the opportunity to reflect and may choose that the MR is a better option. Does it always work out? I've seen many times on this board that the odds are not in the LBS's favor. I've also read a bunch that have worked as well. I guess that is the question and the lucky get to know only because their spouse chose to come back. If they don't, you NEVER know WHY! And you NEVER know if you had done things differently if it would have resulted in a different outcome.
