Divorce papers and flower bouquets?

My brother in law married to my sister-in-law for 7 years, no kids, both in thirties, they both wanted to move to a new dream city 2000 miles away. She moved first since she landed a well paying job. He could not find a job (his transfer within his company was denied), the distance did not help their relationship since they had been having issues before, he stayed behind for four months after she moved first, then he told her that he would like to wait a few more months to get a yearly bonus a his current position and then perhaps move unemployed. My SIL was in the new city alone. No EA or PA as far on either side as I know. They had been struggling even before the move so my SIL cut him off, filed for divorce, etc.

But... apparently they have feeling for each other (they were pretty good marriage) but there is no apparent solution since they live 2000 miles apart.

Now, 7 months into the actual separation/divorce (11 month after the move) my wife says that he should fight for the relationship... move for any kind of job, send a 100 flowers for their wedding anniversary, not just some "cheap" email.

I think it's a tad crazy. The woman left him, filed for divorce, signed the papers, and then he should be buying flowers, making sacrifices, etc.? Is my thinking out of line here? Or are these grand gestures and sacrifices exactly what women pine for? :confused:
