Betsey,
Damn you're quick! How did you reply so fast?

Just took a call from H. Go figure. I didn't mention that after he left for work I left him a CHEERY voicemail saying, "I didn't get to say goodbye to you this morning. Thanks for all of your work this weekend."

(we are finishing the basement).

He wanted to say thanks for the voicemail- said it was really nice. He also thanked me for all the work I did this weekend too. (This has always been a sore spot between us- he is a very hard worker, and I guess I didn't jump in there enough).
I said, "I don't always know what to do, so please don't be afraid to ask me. I just don't want to hang around and be clingy (another "issue"), so I usually go off and find something else to do."

He said, "you're doing just great."

Thanks, Betsey. You're right. I need to calm down and be thankful for what this is. We certainly do need to be friends!
Also, thanks for your support. I feel so shameful of this story, and it has been hard for me to admit to my wrongdoing. Particualarly when so many of you have had it done to you, and here I am, an OW myself.
Thank you for not judging me. I will NEVER have such blatant disregard for myself, my H, and anyone's marriage again...this is CERTAIN.
