IF the H can separate his emotions from the situation, and take on the attitude that they are going to be alright no matter what she does, and allows that perspective to inform their behavior and decisions, there is a greater chance that the WW will feel like THEY are the ones losing out and MIGHT start to second guess their choice.
I just said something similar in my thread. I have no idea what impact it will have on my marriage, but I can at least feel good knowing no matter what happens I will be OK. And I can see how it can cause the WW to second guess their choice. But even if they don't at least your pride or self-worth isn't tied to that.

This x100. It's easy to say logical and sensible things here when we're in a somewhat level headed state of mind. It's different out in the real world.
