You sound great and it really is too bad that your H would rather choose to stay with OW where no matter what, you will be involved in their life. Eventually, that R will end.
It's interesting that your H said he doesn't think he can live with the guilt if he came back but whether he comes back or not, the guilt he feels will stay with him. They say some of the dumbest things sometimes.
Now that you've started moving on with your life, he realizes he's made mistakes. He's not the focus of your attention anymore and so he realizes that OW is not giving him what he's looking for either. Wow, WTH did he expect? He was feeling great when he was getting all the attention but now you're not giving it to him and OW is always nagging him about you. Go figure.
Like BJ said, if he comes back, he will have to put 150% in winning you back. You HAVE come such a long way.
You should be proud of the woman you have become. And, I too would love to see pics of your make-over, not that you really needed it.
Hugs, ISLH
