Afraid I'm in this for the long haul...

Hope,

Glad to see that your H seems to want to maintain connection, however, part of your story doesn't sit right with me. You cannot forget that when dealing with an MLCer, believe none of what they say and only half of what they do. You are probably right about the EA. I would NOT be surprised of a PA and that your H is engaging in some "cake eating". I'm not saying that's the case. Only your H knows. But he himself admitted it was sex and nothing more. Are you OK with that? Are you OK with being used for his physical needs alone while he maintains his emotional (and possible physical) relationship with OW? You need think long and hard about what your boundaries are. Don't assume maintaining a physical relationship with H will help bring him back. Don't believe me, ask PEI or better yet, read her threads. I may be way off base here, but I just don't think so. Apologies if this comes across as harsh. In the end, I AM glad you had a great birthday
