I was wondering - if the line about "you'll never be more attractive than when she thinks she might lose you" applies, what incentive do I have to be the one to leave?
I believe Hoosjim referred to his experience wherein W had two weeks of panic after he "left" (whether that means leaving the marriage, the home, or both?). I just see the potential for a lengthy status quo if neither spouse is keen on being the one to pack up.
