Thanks for all your best wishes. Back in the land of 'normality' now. Had a lovely birthday and holiday with the kids. Another hurdled crossed without H. It was difficult at times as we all missed him but kept a positive slant on things.
H text me happy birthday which was really unexpected and rocked me slightly. I have just seen his phone bill and he actually rang me on my birthday for 4 seconds and must have lost his nerve.
Then in the second week he text to say he had been to the house fed the cats, and dismantled the toilet as it had a leak and would be back next week to fix it.
When we got home it transpired that H had spring cleaned the two boys bedrooms, defrosted an upright freezer and put the cooker back together after I had cleaned it before the holiday.
Then I found 3 bottles of red wine in the rack along with a bottle of Irish whiskey, bottle of brandy and an empty bottle of port. The port was given to him on his 50th birthday. He had drunk it after he left. One bottle of wine and the whiskey and brandy are very dusty. I believe he has brought them back from a flat we lease. Question why didn't he take them back to OW? Also two of the bottles of wine are expensive red wine which OW drinks. So why are they in my wine rack?
Tonight I needed to text him about something that I thought he had taken by mistake. He text straight back and said no he hadn't got it. He then rang me and we chatted for 20 mins. During the conversation he referred to the house as 'home'. Normally he calls it by the village we live in. He also said he would see me this week when he visited the children and we would talk some more.
Another thing is he appears to be getting his credit cards under control and spending much less. I assume OW is still living with him.
I am staying very detached at the moment. Despite this I am baffled at what has happened over the last two weeks whilst we have been on holiday.
