Ok my friend, you want some of the Brooklyn thing, so here it is.
I do not want to invalidate your feelings in any way. But I have to tell you, the fact that you cried when he wrote you that he will honor his committment to fix the house, made me want to drive to you and shake you.
He is getting the freakin dream house, girl. You think he is being sweet? He is trying to relieve some of his guilt!
Now, I can understand you being sad. Absolutely. But the fact that you are still grateful for the crumbs he tosses you, is pissing me off.
So, Brooklyn style - f him. He should be doing the work on your house - at the very least. He had an affair, he got the dream house, he gets to live his life however he wants it.
Frankly, I dont give a rat's as% about him. It's you I care about. He was lucky to have you. You deserve happiness in your life, S. You do. And you better start believing that.
He is not worthy of you. Never was. So ok, you had your cry, you worked through this tough spot. Now, dust yourself off, get yourself up and get to gettin' girl.
