HB, TAKE CARE!!! I am seeing it lots here that most of the time h really needs to hit bottom before/if it gets better. I hope mine did hit bottom. I thought yours did. Apparently not. If/when you visit this board, concentrate on the part on PMA, I can see why you don't want to DB now, hey who would want to at this moment? Take care of yourself and have some fun, by yourself or with other friends. I made new friends a few months ago. I pursued new hobbies and pushed my limit. I am not doing so much more and I can already feel like I am pushing h again and not having enough ALONE time.
It is tough since there will be kids issues. Seems like your h is civil and willing to handle childcare. I also requested no OW around the kids. I would suggest start separating money now, partly to protect yourself and the kids in case h goes crazy on OW. Also, you don't want to see him taking big chuck of money out and get all upset about the big birthday gift to OW. Spare yourself the pain. Good thing is that I see your h is cooperative so you don't have to rush.
Take care, take care. hugs.
