GAG, I'm a bit of a fence sitter here but I just had a thought re your situation...... don't forget the four phases. You can't rekindle romance until you become friends.

XH is XH and he has a woman other than you as he's entitled but unless she was there pre-separation she's not an ow in the true sense of the word. She could be his security while he sorts his feelings for you?

I wonder if XH could cope with an ultimatum? I remember DB coach telling me my biggest ally was patience. She told me not to go with ultimatums.

Four phases
- get rid of negative feelings

- become friends again

- rekindle the romance

- re-commit to the marriage

I don't have great clarity at the moment as I swing from side to side but this was just a thought I had to add to the convo!
