Cinders, Angelica has posted some very good information on the different reactions to mlc. Keep in mind that each individual personality will react differently to mlc. You are one of the fortunate ones that has an h that is being some what kind. Why? Because he's still acting very much a child and wants to see his reflection in the mirror each and every day. As long as the ow and his new friends admire him, he will continue on his merry path. Happy? He's happy for the time being because he's able to get all of the adoration/admiration from the ow. That wear begin to wear thin at some point. She's going to get so very tired of his "me, me first" symptoms. You, too, would get tired of that behavior as well.
Yes, you h appeared to miss his old life for a short period of time, but that me entitlement will pull him back into his new life for a while longer. Some mlcers take a very long time to wake up and smell the coffee; others a couple of years. In your situation, the mirror will need to shatter for your h to wake up. It will...in time.
For now....keep moving ahead. You've been doing beautifully. You are a great mother who adores her children and would do anything for them and others. Your horizon is expanding more and more and some day, you may wake up one morning and discover that you do not want him back, that too much time has gone by and you will have grown to the point that he will never be able to catch up. We just never know what lies ahead. Destiny in your hands, take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Life is far too short to worry about whether he's a happy camper or not--most likely he's not after the sun goes down.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
