Not being with the same partner anymore does make it a better analogy. The issue is the physiological damage that this fanbase has, not what the Flames are doing now. That is what is going to take time to heal, people are going to be getting triggered about this for a while.
The only anology adjustment I would make it that it has only been 1 season with new management, so it is more like the first serious relationship after a bad one. It is probably going to take 3 or so seasons before people really get over it. I bet when it comes time to go for the cup at the end of this rebuild, we are going to get another round of these fears resurfacing.
