Couragous Wife just told me she thought I was cycling. Reading over your H's history, it appears so is he. He just cycles more than my washing machine. If your dates are correct, he cycles around the 9th or 10th of each month, not always returning or leaving, but I bet there's something there.
Not that it matters, but I wonder how OW responds to this?
Wonder if this is full moon thing or menstrual cycle?
