It seems to be common wisdom here that most A have a lifespan and then come to an end. If a WS has moved out of the house in order to have an A (i.e. I need some space), or moves out after D-day in order to continue A, what happens after the A has ended? How long should the BS expect to wait before the WS comes out of the fog and considers returning home? How much does it depend on how the A ended? Are many A seen by WS as a way to end the M (exit A)? What should BS do to encourage WS to return home, and when? Opinions, please.
