I keep reading about so many people on here who are in Plan B and I am curious if there is anyone here whose marriage recovered after Plan B.

I've read several people say Plan B worked for them, because they recovered, but not their marriage.

I am specifically looking for stories about marriages that have recovered after Plan B.

Plan B is not really intended to recover the marriage. It is a last-ditch effort to wait for the A to die and protect the love feelings the BS still has for the WS. Recovery cannot happen while the A is ongoing.

An analogy I would use is imagine a basketball star gets shot. The doctors first have to save his life before he can ever get back on the court and work on being a great basketball player again. So asking if Plan B "recovered" a marriage is like asking "Did going to the hospital after getting shot 'recover' his basketball career?"
