Need Veteran Piecer's Advice - desperately!!!

[Heartbroken]

Lin, Theo and OC,

Well we have had a wonderful two days. He leaves with the kids Friday AM and will get back at dinner time Saturday. He is being VERY attentive to me (diff than last time). There is a lot of future talk and HE is telling his friends he's coming home - there is excitement there (finally). H can finally admit he made a huge mistake - he is still worried about my family but we both know he will need to earn back their trust and respect.

Theo - you so KNOW me and you are right I need to back off and let him do some of the work this time. It just feels different this time.

I still have some fears - OW contacted him again Tuesday eve - three TMs but he just deleted them and will not call her. She did not call this AM. Her ex H called me Tuesday eve. asking what was going on b/c she was do depressed and he was concerned about his two boys being with her. I told him my H was done and was coming home this weekend - so hopefully OW will get this...

I will not contact OW - I am NOT competing with her (Thanks, Lin) and H has to be home b/c he wants ME and US again!

Worked out this AM - feel much lighter. Either this works out and I get my best friend back or we gave it a real try and we can end it peacefully. I am in a good place right now!

Thanks for all your insights! You are all awesome!
