Hi, I just wanted to let you know I admire your dedication to your marriage. I would surmise that he will drop this OW in his own time but because he is not doing it in your time, you are becoming bitter.
My other fear is because his head does seem to be up his A@@ that once he does drop it you may not be willing to commit 100% to the reconciliation, then he will have to try and get you back on board and will probably get discouraged doing so!
Here is my two cents, that texting crap is a real issue for you, understandable so. Tell him he can do it on his own time, but please have respect for you and since it does bother you, you don't want it done in front of you.
I wonder if he is still testing the waters and boundries. My W. starting long conversations late at night with a M. friend, she told him about our relationship difficulties and talks for hours. When I asked her about this she said she needed someone to talk to you, I said thank you for not doing it in front of me since I believe this to not be a healthy practice for reconciliation. I did not say she could not do it, but made it clear I have an issue with it. I will see what happens from there.
