OK, I usually post in MLC, but guess I should probably come here now. I don't know how to link to my previous threads, but I will tell you that my H has been home now for about 3 1/2 weeks. He's had NC with OW except the ocassional work related e-mail for 3 weeks and NC AT ALL for well over a week. He's starting to miss her. He's being very open about it and says he feels like an a$$ for crying in front of me about missing her. He didn't have any idea it would be this hard. He wasn't expecting to miss her this much. I've told him that I fully expected it and that it's OK for him to lean on me and talk to me about it. I told him that what he is feeling is completely normal and that I'm OK with it. That I would actually worry more if he wasn't going through it. I would worry that he's contacting her or seeing her. I told him that I am proud of him for not calling her even though I know it has to be hard, and I'm proud of him for coming home and giving our marriage a chance. My question; What else can I do to help him? I know he has to go through this stage. I know it's normal, but I feel so helpless. Is there anything to say or do to make it better for him? To make it easier for him? As I said, we're talking about it, he's opening up to me and telling me what he's feeling so it's all out there and between us. I know that's a good thing, but I want to do more if possible.
