oh honey, I didn't know the whole story, big hugs first))))))))))))
I can see that the MLC was/is messign with your H's head, no one in their right mind can come up with that flattering nonsense (soul mates, wish I was the father). It is their desire to look good, to impress, to put themselves in their best light that lead men to act like such @sses (my H told me how he promised OW the world when they were together (and through it all he wasn't planning on staying with her for too long) this past summer and how pissed she must be about him leaving her).
Those are irational emotions your H displayed, love is deep pure and serene, not a wild rollercoaster.
I pray that you love yourself enough to detach from him and to understand that you are very very valuable and not some old fantasized memory he latched on like (ow)
Be not afraid...I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten Joel2
