Root and Joie are right. Your H's actions are telling us that he is not trying to end your M at all. He is still going to be confused about OW as she has just kept things going trying to get you two to split.
She is SH$t on the bottom of your shoe. She is trying everything to get you to end things with your H in hopes that he will come running to her. Being desperate she is contacting you, and by her contacting him she is making it harder for him to totally break away from her( that endorphine ya know) but, you have to give him credit for staying and trying even if he is still contacting her.(this Im'e also learning the hard way)
Iv'e been at this as long as you and my H is still trying to get his fantasy OW to be his friend. (she didn't want an R with him)
It is hard but I think we/you will get there as I can see hope for both of us. I know right now that I won't give up unless he wants out and it isn't looking that way.
There is hope. Do Retro again. You won't regret it im'e sure.
