Is this piecing?

I forgot to add that you should try not to think there is an OW. You probably know in your gut whether there is or not. I know it seems like there almost always is one (or an OM), it isn't a 100% thing. Years ago I told people here that my philosophy was to not borrow trouble. Your mind can go to all these dark and scary places about what if he's doing this or that. If it is, you'll eventually find out. Wondering about it today and making yourself upset over a "what if" won't make it hurt any less if you find out there was someone else. So for now, take what you know at face value. You'll really drive yourself insane otherwise.

My H didn't have an OW. He did date while we were separated, but not until about 2 years into it. One lasted at least a year or more and in that time, there wasn't any hint of him ever working things out with me. Your H is joining you in some family things and is in MC and seems to be willing to be there and listening. Those are good things.
