Hi NCU, St Malo is beautiful & Bretagne one of my favourite regions. Did you have fun at your festival? I know you don't need a car so much over there, but you will certainly be able to get off the beaten track and get out more with one. I am also dealing with a H who has turned arrogant, cold and cruel (in actions more than words) overnight. From all the reading I have done, and from this forum, I've understood that to be a direct result of the affair. It's as though the WAS has a history of unhappiness and resentment brewing under the surface and then the unfair unleashes it. They become literally 'alien' to us. I know how disheartening this whole process can seem but it definitely sounds like he is warming up (the 'bises' are a good thing.... maybe he'll be less adversarial with you now that OW is gone and life on his own is not so cosy). I won't hijack your thread with an update (I've been asked by the moderators to start a new one), but essentially WH is back with OW in France and I haven't heard from him in weeks.
