I have never liked saying "Yes this is what they are thinking." Cause the truth is I don't know, no one here knows what they are thinking.
I have noticed that my wife would act guilty, and seem to have pangs of remorse or regret. But that did not stop her from continuing an affair or being selfish.
As to the stage of replay...I thought replay in itself was a stage. Personally the one I disliked the most as it seems to be the longest and most repetative.
Check out the resources at the top of the thread for the list of stages, and remmeber these are pretty much guidelines no one situation is going to be the same for everyone.
