Just a thought, but could it be possible that OW told him she's not interested until he gets his life in order? In our sitch, we never really separated ... except different bedrooms. So, can't comment on any experience there. My H was very much in a hurry to get us to this city ... I couldn't understand why until I found out OW was living a short distance away. He swears it had nothing to do with it. Uh huh!?
I believe in the notion of they will lie before they tell the truth. If their lips are moving, they are lying, unless there is absolute proof.
He also swears they're not in contact. I checked to see if she had a FB account, and she did. All of H's old school friends on his FB had her as a 'friend' except him. I told him, "hey, no problem if you're seeing her ... we're separating anyway ... I notice she's not looking well in one of her pics, so maybe your getting in contact will make her feel better?" Next day, her FB was gone. I haven't said anything about that to him. It just makes me wonder.
I guess all you can do is wait and see, while taking it one day at a time. I know that is such a cliche comment, but it's true.
