I also doubt he would miss anything other than the kids. He's made it perfectly clear that he cares nothing for me and doesn't like me, even more so since the boys know the whole story.

I think he would just do as he did when he first moved out.....Ask his sister to hook him up with someone.

He said he felt he was meant to be alone, but he really doesn't want to be. The hardened coldness he shows me makes me wonder if he is once again in contact with the girl he dated for the last year so. It happened just before he came back, you know, when he promised it would stop. She called him a number of times. He got "weak" and talked to her again.

Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
