I love the new attitude. It won't be constant and you'll have flashbacks into old ways of thinking/feeling
but this is progress. Don't let backslides last too long.
Thing about your h is, however long he was not really into the m or whether it was all sudden,
if this were about YOU and YOU ONLY, he would not have left his children behind
or been crying and acting soo, off, for this long. A lot of this is simply HIM.
has to be really.
Sure, keep doing your own work on YOU and being the most inwardly content "life" you can be.
It IS attractive to others and you will not be alone for long once you are ready for moving on.
As for trust, as AJ said, that will come when you begin to meet more healthy men.
"Latest conquests"? I have 5 brothers and they grew out of that phase decades ago.
They want a partner they're attracted do, without a lot of drama. Good companionship, affection (they all seem to have that same Love Language--physical touch) interest in what they are doing and bringing something to the table.
They each married or remarried good women who seem to "get" them. None of my brothers have ever had an affair.
Notably, the laziest husband, of my 5 brothers, is also the one who offers the least in the R. Just noticed that...
Carry on Life, I'm glad you got some clarity.
