eventual reconciliations had the same element...it was only after the big D was in process
There's a big difference between successfully reconciliating and just having the WAS return home. Don't confuse the two!
In my sitch, it's been about a year and a half that my ex is living with her boyfriend. Was ongoing prior to that for maybe a few months as a possible PA, and before that, for I don't know how long, but long, as an EA. Beats me if she had priors before that or during that.
For the record, my divorce went through and didn't change anything.
