Hey gw, I just read your entire thread. I must admit my h and your w could be related. My h has been coming and going from our house for months now. Sometimes he'll admit it is because of ow. Most times he will deny it as if previous conversations never happened. He is depressed. I'm convinced that he is addicted or self-medicating with the phone calls and non-stop texting with ow. She and I have texted and she claims he is a liar and tried to destroy her and her family.....yet she still talks with him. WTF.

I think she enjoys the attention from him. I'm sure he takes her to dinner and buys her things and then when she doesn't return the feelings back he flips out on her. He'll come home, mope around and complain about being "depressed" and then he is right back within 1-4 weeks contacting her, more like begging her because he can't live without her.

I'm at a point to where I've had enough and need to pull away drastically.

Best wishes to you and your kids this holiday. I'm inspired by your honesty and boundaries you have set.
