F4W is, of course, free to do as he pleases. I was only offering my advice from my perspective and past experience. If he keeps this continual pursuit, pull-back tactic, it could go on forever. A way to stop this is to do just that, STOP. If she leaves over this, then she was probably leaving anyway. Otherwise, they are both miserable. I got my marriage back by completely detaching. Any amount of pursuit I did backfired everytime. It simply isn't attractive. Should we have to worry about this with our spouses? Heck no. But this is what the situation is for F4W now, unfortunately.
