Thanks Cat....I know EXACTLY where you are coming from.
RE STDs, we used protection cos I went off the pill back in Nov when I ran out. I thought there was no point being on the pill, it would be one less expense and I wanted to see how my body coped with being natural for a while (was hoping it would help lose weight, but no such luck ...poo!)
I think he just doesn't want to be alone. He has admitted it a while ago but I don't think he is thinking like that any more. He realises that he wants to be with me but is acting like words and ML is enough for me. I should take him at his word. sorry buddy, but I've been screwed over quite a few times now and I am very sceptical.
I think I have to expect that things will be slow in breaking up with E. btw, she is not the original OW we were separated before he started up with her, though I do still consider this to be adultery. The earliest that I could expect him to break up with her is Sat. Given how hurt he is feeling from me using him yesterday, he doesn't know whether he can spend time with me right now. At least it looks like he is trying by coming around today. I just hope he can put on a happy face for d's benefit and act 'as if' for our benefit.
