I didn't want to post this question on my thread as others on this board may not know what this is also.

I have seen this term posted on archived threads and current boards as well.

The way that the term is used is usually put with other terms:

example:

'...even if you are Plan A'ing someone, or are planning on going into Plan B or even a 180, you should...'

What exactly is meant by the term 180?

Thank ya'll.

Do exactly the oposite of what you are currently doing (180 degrees).

In that context, it is a plan from divorce busters. Which is one of the worst programs I have EVER seen when it comes to infidelity. Marriage Builders does not support or advocate divorce busters.

I tried it for a bit before coming here. As it turns out its exactly what my WW wanted me to do - get out of her life!

I since wised up.

The 180 is something I did (told to by my counselor) right before I went to plan B (shortly plan D after an incident).

It is where you basically show them what's coming. You do not do any disrespectful judgements, you calmly tell them to stop the affair, you do your own thing, you basically show them what they're going to miss about you when you're gone.

And you throw them off by say, dressing differently, maybe looking a bit better, not answering your cell phone when they call as much (again I was told to do it right before plan B), continue plan A, but you act like you are fine.

I did it at the last minute and it somewhat worked only when plan B was (like within 48 hrs) imminent. My xh saw me looking fabulous, I was sweet, still doing a plan A, but NOT appearing in any way shape or form needy or pleading. I remember telling him calmly to stop his ema and that things had to change.

I remember that i quit answering my cell when he'd call. I'd just let it go to voicemail. I would go and come as I pleased, getting dressed up to even go grocery shopping. It somewhat makes the foggy hormone driven and addicted WS think you're getting over them a bit, that you're not any more taking their bull.

I do not endorse nor did I do divorce busters, which is NOT mb. Their principles are very different. A 180 means a distinct change in what you're doing. My xwh reacted positively to it, b/c he came home and swore to reconciliation about 2 weeks after plan B, but then he reverted right back to his behavior.

I kinda liked myself during the change of plan A and the mindset and physical change of the 180 so much that I kept it.

You can implement the changes during plan A and call it what you will. But when you are no longer needy, not pleading, take pride in your appearance, and quit focusing on THEM (the crazy addicted waywards who think the world should worship them), that they do indeed react. And you just keep plan A'ing.
