what you said above has me baffled are you actually saying the God caused this to happen so you and your family could suffer for a reason you don't yet know?
I can think of absolutely no scripture to back this up or that God would cause your H to Live and Sleep with another woman for the greater good.
If you are happy with this arrangement that is fine, but it seems whenever people offer you advice you always have an answer for them as to why it wouldn't work or you have no need to try to work on you.

All that Butterfly said with regard to what you say your H complained about when he made a brief return now seems to not be a problem.
If that is the case and you are indeed fine and content with your situation, maybe putting just journalling in the title might give others a clue that you do not need help or advice.
I note you never altered your sig. line to include H moving out again.

Your patience amazes me, but I suspect you are content to just have a part time H. I worry that this is sending wrong messages to your children tho, but no doubt that is covered too,do they believe that this is God's doing as well?
