Flo we all dream of being loved to our full potential but heck thats not real life just a dream!
As you said your H isnt having an affair and although my H did much the same on the "you'd be happier with someone else" front, he still didnt have an A.. Despite popular belief on here they dont all have one! Ok he is fantasising about having one even putting it out and about to see how you will react, exactly that to see how you will react. Think what RR said about even deep down she knows her H has feelings for her what ever he is going through and I always felt the same about my H.
It is very early days still in your separation, I like the way you are keeping out of controlling the kids emotions, H has to see the consequences of his actions in all directions, for me my H wanted to see what life was like on his own, well that meant not having me and although it killed me and yes I actually got used to it which is good for me as I did have him as the centre of my world probably a little too much, it was then he started to realise life without me wasnt that greener over there.
Maybe Im just a little to old fashioned and naive but the thought of having another man near scared me half to death lol!
