I won't speak for Ovrrnbw, but I'll respond to your question about pressure. For a woman who feels done with the MR, there are a number of things the H can do that causes her emotional pressure. Here are just a few:
1. Hoovering. 2. Trying to hug her, kiss her, put your hand anywhere on her body. 3. Asking questions about every little thing she does, where she goes, who she sees, etc. 4. Trying to manipulate a response by saying ILY. LBS's want to hear it back, but it is a form of pressure. 5. Pulling out the wedding pictures, trying to get her to look at them. 6. Talking about how parents will be disappointed, etc. If there are children, talking about how they will be affected. 7. Breaking down in front of her. 8. Contacting her throughout the day. Texting to see where she is and when she'll be home, etc. 9. Buy her gifts, or having flowers sent to her. 10. Have friends and family members try to persuade her to stay in the M.
Peacocking is where the H is trying to draw W's attention to his changes/improvements. His changes are just for show.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
