Happy belated birthday! Glad you had fun with the rest of the family.
Good job on no expectations in regards to stbx! And great job on being the mature adult and practicing genuine giving with no expectation of reciprocity!
I love how they all regress to 2 year olds throwing a temper tantrum when things don't go their way. It cracks me up! The things they rationalize away are enough to make you laugh out loud - of course it has nothing to do with OW! (To be fair, in his mind it probably doesn't, since he obviously was contemplating leaving you before the A started, but we'll just ignore the fact that he never would have left if he didn't have a sugar momma to jump ship with!)
Keep moving forward. Take care of you and the kids.
If he ever pulls his head out of his arse, he'll have a LOT of catching up to do! But set the bar high!
As for the D papers, that's definitely a possibility. And it'll be a blow even if you are expecting it. So prepare as best you can, handle it with grace and dignity if it comes to that, and give yourself time to bounce back emotionally. And always remember, it's HIS LOSS if he lets you go!
