My H has put my picture back on his workbench, said it's been there now for a couple of weeks. Also, he has agreed to wear his wedding ring to work as often as possible. For the most part he cannot wear it while working because it could get damaged. (He is a dental technician)
The OW has yet to be moved to another department but he says he purposely avoids looking in her direction and has no contact with her other than work related issues. He said her friends dislike him now because of what he has done (dumped her) and that he is no longer invited to their social events. He says he doesn't care, that it no longer matters.
I told him that I understand if he is still pining for her, to which he answered emphatically, "I do not pine for her, I pine for you". (Being that he left me, I would guess that he doesn't fully understand the meaning of "pining").
He also informed me that she had asked for her Polish dictionary back and he has since obliged. I asked him about the two bottles of Polish vodka that she had given him and he said that he would not be drinking them but will instead bring them over here to put in our liquor cabinet. He really seems to no longer place any value on what she gave him.
I lent him a mug that has me and my dear departed cat's picture glazed on it, to be used while he is living at the other house, and I asked him if he liked it as much as the two mugs she had given him (which he had angrily smashed to pieces about a month ago because they were upsetting me). He replied that he liked it MUCH more.
Anyway, I am confident that the OW is no longer a concern.
I suppose the only way I can truly having my H back, will be by opening my hand and letting him go. I desperately hope that he will fly back to me.
