Hi Peace,

Encouraging stories are always nice to hear. Thanks for sharing that.

Good for H for spending more time with the kids. Hope that continues. So curious to hear how the co-parenting counseling goes with him.

I'm glad you found an answer on what to do with the new friend. I actually think it's good you were open to it. Otherwise, there's no way you would have known if he was right for you. I didn't have time to post to you when you mentioned him, but the funny thing is that I was going to say the exact same thing - that you may find he's just not right for you.

Been thinking about posting again, but no major updates. It's been almost 3 years of S for H and I. No changes in our R. I heard that H and ogre broke up a few months ago, but seems they are back together AGAIN. H may have even dated someone else briefly. He's given me no signs of wanting to reconcile, and that's ok. My life is full (except for that huge gaping hole in my heart that occasionally reveals itself) and I'm moving on as well as can be expected. Haven't let go completely and not sure I ever will be totally successful at doing so. Still hoping for the best, whatever that may be...

P.S. Ogre is the same age as your H's OW.
