It's definitely always good to protect yourself just in case, so that was the best action to take. I think regarding H's actions, I doubt H and OW are over, but more than likely, you hit it right on - he doesn't want to lose you. As we've learned on this board, not that he actually wants to necessarily be your H either, but doesn't want to lose having you on the side or as his fall back or even have you with any other guy. It was a control issue before and I'm sure it is again. In these cases, I think it's very likely that H could come to the level of H's brother or your friend's H. I could definitely see my H doing that. You will just have to continue to be strong and resiliant tho. As Kalni said, just continue on your path, and for your own sake of trying everything, give him the D out with MC, and then continue to move on with the wonderful life you have created.
Glad you are feeling better! Hope the cooler weather helps bring you back to 100%!
