Same here, I don't know how many times I heard "It's over.. I am not talking to him anymore.." only to find out it was a LIE.
I suspect this guy's a charmer and will tell you whatever you want to hear to keep a situation from escalating...
This guy is going to be VERY HARD to keep an EYE on... and he is NOT going to give up this easy... a verbal committal is not worth much.. its a START, but I think he gave in too easily... I suspect he thinks he can fool you...
DON'T LET HIM fool you...
Follow up with the advice above.. do NOT TRUST his WORD on ANYTHING... physical PROOF Is your best friend right now...
and HER telling you she will NOT contact him anymore and apologizing for her interference is a HUGE step... its going to take a HUGE fight to get there... the battle has JUST STARTED... but at least you ARE fighting now...
Bo Peep method sucks for affairs... I have never seen it work on this forum to date.. not once.
