Thanks, LSG. I think it is easier to be strong and positive when you see that being strong is what brings about the desired reactions. Sorry so late in responding, not a lot of time for computer the last few days, but I appreciate the support!
Wed. was fine when H got home. He kept saying I looked good - and wanted sex, of course. I wasn't suprised, but I still am not sure I should be "giving in"... We took the kids out and had a nice evening. Last night was OK too except he was back to some of his previous behaviors: being reclusive and going outside for awhile without saying anything. I can't be sure of how long he was out - if at all really. In order to stave off any negative emotions or actions (from myself) I just went on to bed. Sometimes he jogs later in the evening. However, I did not see any evidence of actual exertion. (His dirty clothes are pretty yucky when he jogs - and they weren't yucky at all this morning.) Anyway, I suspected previously that he was having inappropriate phone conversations and that may still be true. Haven't been able to catch him in anything though. At this point, not much I can do about it if I do. Well, except I did tell him before that if he wants to have inappropriate friendships, he should move out!
Anyway, he's acting fine for the most part: friendly, comments about the future... going forward with some plans for the kids... but no ILY and no more discussion about our marriage. (He had said previously he would "let me know when/if things were fine".)
