If everything is so predictable what (if any) similarities in Sitch's exist for those that have reconciled?
They follow a fairly predictable pattern:
The LBH cries and begs and pleads for the WAW to recon. They don't.
The LBH tries every trick, technique and 12 step program they can come up with to get the WAW to recon. They don't.
The LBH pretends to move on, makes a big show of how they are moving on, posts stuff on FB, says things to friends and family, all geared towards tricking the WAW into think they've moved on to get the WAW to recon. They don't.
The LBH realizes it really is over, she really is done, there's no saving things. He moved on, gets a life, finds contentment and eventually happiness again, let's go of his WAW with no ill feelings.
Time passes.
The WAW misses the LBH, remembers he's a pretty cool guy that she had a lot of fun with, reaches out to him in small ways.
Then usually reverse BD, she's sorry for everything, wishes there was a way to get back together. Is there?
PJ, the obvious trick here is you really well and truly have to move on. It's the only way. The longer you postpone moving on the longer it will take for her to come out of the fog. You've got to let her go and get busy working on you.
