I really am pathetic when I really type that out.


you are not the pathetic one. he is.
you are doing an incredibly tough thing.

I've read that when there is an OW involved, it isnt uncommon for the H to yo-yo back and forth trying to give her up.
Just like multiple failed attempts to give up smoking.
Even HE knows this. He referenced "withdrawal" in his email to her. Sounds like he's actually read some marriage recovery books.

Anyway, at least he called me, he was upbeat and for the first time in weeks he was nice to me. I mean really really nice. We will see.


Attagirl. You're understandably tired. So, how about letting him do the work? If he's nice to you, then keep talking with him, and at some level (even if it's only at the "politeness" level) show some kind of positive back in return.
Otherwise, just keep it about the kids.

aka, "Keep doing what you are doing" \:D
I think you're doing good things. Even if, ironically, that actually mostly means, "do nothing" ;\)
