Separated, new baby, but still hopeful

[WhatNow]

ooops...meant to comment on the competition thing. OW is competing with YOU. She is only one tiny piece of his pie. You and sweetbaby have the rest. Have you read "Why we Love" by Helen Fisher? It isn't about affairs, but rather describes What happens to the brain in love, attachment, etc. Daniel Amen has also written about this. In love feelings may feel stronger but attachment is much deeper and stronger. If we wait while that "in love" feeling wears off, his attachment to OW will pale in comparison. Don't worry about competing. That work is already completed!
