I agree, it's great while your away on holiday, 100's miles from home, away from reminders and routines, then you get home and come down to earth with a huge bang. My head and heart don't co-operate either, i think you have to follow your heart.

Well done on the phone call, is it something you can build on? Keep the lines of commuincation open. Maybe try calling him or texting him once a week? My H responds better to me via the phone/text than he can face to face.

Definately give him the present, don't make an issue, just give it to him and say something casual.

This is part of the reason why it is so hard for me to believe that he doesn't have another woman in his life now. In some ways, if he is really taking time now to spend some time on his own, I can see that as a healthy thing for him to do.

You were M for 12 yrs, judging by his age, he was married to you the longest? You got over the 7 year itch! Sounds like XW's had tremendous issues and you don't sound to me like you have at any at all. Maybe he does just needs more time to centre himself and be on his own for a while?

Do you really think he has OW or is it more MLC?
