SweetBriar, You are a good person and doing a lot of good things for you and your children. You are also leaving the door open for your H to someday be a more active part of your life.
Keep the hope, but act "as if."
My H is in some version of MLC w OW too (although their R is an EA right now, which I agree w what you said about the emotional attachment being so strong--at least that's what they believe). ANd yes, I agree that it would be VERY difficult for them to give up the OW easily. Difficult but not impossible. But they have to CHOOSE it themselves...and that's what we're leaving the door open for right now.
My mom said today that God doesn't give you any more than you can handle...well, I would say you have your plate more than full, so I'm guessing that you are DUE for some positive, wonderful things to happen in the new year (including your baby).
Hang in there--I'm thinking of you!!!
