Thank you everyone, especially Cadet and caigy72. I am not at all sure that my DH is having a MLC, some of it is definitely an over paranoid approach on my part. But still, something is not entirely right I sense that and there is work to be done here!!
I have decided to trust my DH completely. He has told me that he has not and has never had an affair and I have no reason to disbelieve this. Complete trust and if he needs to meet with other people then I have no desire for him to stop this. No more snooping or spying- this does not improve the situation. I am going to work on me and on our relationship: more love from me in particular more approval, more thanks, more acknowledgement of the wonderful things he does for us as a family, and is, and has achieved. I will also work very very hard at GAL, enjoying my friends, getting my hugs from them for the moment and being the kind of person that people want to be with. I am sure that this is the best way forward for me, and for us and our family. I think I will know that it is working if he becomes happier, more affectionate and we start to have great laughs in each other company again.

Lets hope I can keep this up. If I feel any of the negative thoughts resurfacing I shall come back here, or go for a run, or take a deep breath and leave the room until I am ready to come back again. I feel very positive as the new year approaches.
