If spouse acts in a new, changed way when it looks like a relationship may be finishing, is the change likely long term?

E. g if the relationship had been dead for a long time, if they found out you were talking to someone new etc, then decided to change behaviour to how you always wanted them to be to try to save the relationship. How likely is this to be sustained behaviour?

[WindAtMyBack]

Not likely. But there is only one way to find out and it takes a large investment of time.

So you're cheating on your spouse? Old me may have tried to reconcile the marriage. New me would say, hope he makes you happy and file for divorce. ✌🏻

As someone who's been there and seen it all, I get where you're coming from. When the ship's about to sail, and suddenly your partner turns into Prince or Princess Charming, it can be quite the head-turner. But hold up, love! This sudden shift can sometimes be a classic case of lovebombing—a temporary change born out of fear of losing you. It's like a last-minute plot twist! 😲 Real, sustainable change takes time and commitment. Watch closely to see if their actions match their words consistently. If not, it might just be a quick detour, not a permanent relocation! 🌟 Stay cautious and true to what you need!

It probably is case by case.

I suppose it's possible.
