Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[P17]

WH texted me this morning to check on S, wished us a Merry Christmas. I just replied back about S. He texted again telling us to have a good Christmas. I replied back "Thanks, we will!"
I will NOT and DID NOT wish him a Merry Christmas. Hope he noticed.

He noticed. Why do you think he texted you the same thing again?

I know everyone thinks it's over between us and there is no hope. But I still have hope!

I don't think it's over between you two. I think, out of all the sitches in this forum, you have the best chance at R.

I may have said all this before but I have been thinking about you today and your sitch.

Your H strikes me as a guy who is being controlled by OW and is simply too scared and indecisive to drop her. I get the feeling he simply hasn't got a clue what to do or what he is actually doing and is simply 'along for the ride'. The texts, the talks, the time he is spending with you just strike me as somebody who is cake eating but also somebody who is maybe reaching out a little. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm off base, but that's the impression I'm getting. It would be nice if he manned up though and did the right thing, whatever that may be.
