It doesn't seem that you are "over the moon" over this development which pleases me very much indeed.
It seems that more often than not around here, the MLCer pokes their head out of the tunnel (like yours has done), test the waters so to speak and when they see that there is a good chance, they dive right back in and continue their journey for a few more years until they truly regain their senses.
I've got a mate that did the same thing as yours but his X remarried, he broke up with OW soon after the D. He is on his own and admitted 2 years after he initiated S and D, it was the biggest mistake of his life. He has expressed deep remorse (and still does), is on cordial terms with his xW but she is now married. They get on great "for the sake of the kids" as he likes to put it. He doesn't want to be the cause of her 2nd marriage breaking up.
Going pitch black is the best way of dealing with this for everyone concerned. Completely let them go.
God Bless, Suit
