I'm curious if you guys and other vets (Sandi, AS, Chris73) feel as though the real contrition and humility that a WW must demonstrate before R also applies to a WAW?
That's a very interesting question. I would say it largely depends on what the situation was in the WAW leaving. Sometimes (often?) the WAW's have perfectly reasonable reasons for leaving. I take issue with the WAY that they usually leave, which seemingly comes out of nowhere and with no notice. But they usually felt very abandoned and lonely leading up to BD because of the way they were treated in the M. So what we preach here is doing 180's on our problems and work on ourselves to make ourselves attractive to them again, and to try and build a new R with them rather than go back to the old one. So if they are attracted back it's not because they realized the error of their ways, it's because they fall in love again with H2.0. So I would say that yes there should hopefully be an apology in there somewhere, maybe not for leaving but for the way they left. But not the same level of repentance that a WW would owe her H.
