Yeah, I can't explain it, but one thing I've noticed is he's looking at me now. He never looked at my face for about 18 months. He seems more normal (he was always either distant or angry) now. Friendlier on the emails, I'm hoping he's defogging but you never know.
It was and wasn't out of character. He was always a churgoing, Sunday School teacher. He still takes the kids to church every other week which is kind of weird. Even during all the A he kept attending church, but he would just kind of read the Bible instead of listening to the sermon (b/c a lot of the sermons wouldn't agree with what he was doing I think).
But H was always a little self-absorbed which of course got worse the past couple years. He's always been sure to have plenty of me time for himself, doing triathlon training, running, biking or whatever hobby he was into at the time. He also is a sober alcoholic, hasn't drank in about 20 years now, but he has a very addictive personality: he would go through different obsessions: billiards, triathlons, kayaking etc. They would last 1 to 2 years and then he'd be on to the next one. I do think OW is the latest addiction for him. She's been married 3 times already and cheated on her 3rd with my H, has troubled kids, etc.
