I called OW's H today. He told me that his W told him the Saturday before Christmas (22nd?), H and his W exchanged Christmas gifts, and my H told OW that he needed space, that he doesn't think they should talk or see each other anymore. OW is 'respecting' his wishes, and supposedly doesn't call him. Meanwhile, she is still begging her H to reconcile. He has agreed to stay in the house longer for the kids, but is still moving on with: finances and an life independent of OW.
Yes, this is a good thing. H has NEVER tried to end it with her (as far as I know).
BUT......and help me remember these things:
1. Things could always turn around. One phone call, one accidental sighting, and they could be seeing each other again.
2. I will continue with my positive and independent behavior.
3. I will not approach H with R talk. He kind of told me about the break last week, but didn't want to talk about it further, so I didn't push. I will not push, I will be receptive if he chooses to find me.
He has been quiet for a couple days. Not cranky, just quiet. I have to admit that I am happy about this, but I need to remember it might be temporary. This week will show me a bit. H usually does 'errands' and lunch with D6 coordinating to possibly see OW. Last week, he switched up his routine a bit, and I did not hear from my kids that they saw OW and her kids (they report any sighting of anyone...). We shall see....
Question: We were moving forward with separting finances, etc. H was fighting this a bit last week. I am thinking of continuing to let that battle go. What do you guys think?
