So it just finally hit me that Steve’s advice to the LBS is to act like a WW. Detach because that’s what WWs do from their spouse and their families. Work on yourself because that’s what WWs do they start exercising, Botox, boob jobs. Find new friends that’s because that’s what WWs do. Then out of nowhere after x amount of time you bomb them by filing for D.
Or you sit down with them because they have expressed interest in reconciliation and you discuss where you went wrong and what you will do to move on to marriage 2.0. If they want to work towards that with you great! If they do not that is ok too. Going back into limbo is rarely ends well for the WW spouse.
Assuming Sandi is ok health wise which I really hope she is, my guess is she left the board because her voice wasn’t being heard. She would NEVER advocate a LBS pretend like nothing happened.
Great debates by good people who are trying to help strangers get through the hardest thing they have most likely ever went through in their lives.
