I don't think he would be walking on air if you and the kids and his responsibilities did not exist. I think he does feel pressured and burdened and life is hard but those are the most rewarding parts of life. I honestly think our H's feel betrayed by us so they feel entitled to start new Rs. Now we may feel that way as LBS, to also start an EA or begin dating as we reach out for someone we need.
My H said he has not missed me, not a single day. I know he is obsessed with his current affair. I find it so hard to believe that he does not miss "us" and I miss "us" but maybe that is because I am not dating and I would prefer to be with the kids anyways. Maybe I don't really miss him anyways. Maybe we LBS just feel rejected and want to fix it ir win? Human nature???
You still sound like you have hope. If you can visualize a safe return it is still possible. You still care about his things and how he feels. How does he respond to MC? His life is in sucha negative spiral he really needs IC too.
Hijack Re Scout Mom: I really don't think she thinks my H will expose anyone, I just think she wants to keep her D away from the drama of divorce because my D6 was talking about it alot. She may have been tryingto give me space, but she and her H have been married the same amount of time and they also have problems. I think people do fear divorce is contagious!!!
