Btw regarding the POW, your H is simply lying to himself more than anything. H really believes because they aren't having sex that she is just a friend. Give me a break, everyone and your neighbor know that this is BS. But you are not gonna be the one to convince him that its BS, he has to see for himself.
He will find out the long and hard way.
Dont react too emotionally towards him and give him an easy excuse to blame you.
Keep focusing on you and your kids.
It also feels like you are caught up in a lot of neighborhood gossip. It really helped me to expand my network of friends and meet new people at Al anon. I was able to share things with these new friends I could not share with parents that my kids play or go to school with. New friends that don't know H at all.
