AnotherStander, thank you for your insights. They are always so helpful and to the point. I’ve read lots of your responses to other posts as well… I have been busy for a few days, didn’t have time to update. I’ve got some news. I was paying the telephone bill (different phone that we use when we travel internationally) and found a couple of conversations that lasted about 4 hours and 2 hours. It was an international number. It is from the area where the girl lives, the one who my H was flirting with when he was in our vacation home and who is also a relative of our friends. When I saw these friends last time they were assuring me that my H is not seeing anybody. The female friend (who is a relative of this girl) also told me that she called her and the girl said that there was nothing going on between her and my H. She was actually mad at my friend for accusing her of this. Now, I know my H pretty well, and I know that he would not be taking on the phone to just a friend for this long, especially female friend. I think there is something going on. I want to ask my friend if she will recognize the number and I want to tell her what I know, but I’m not sure if it will backfire on me. My H will probably accuse me of spying on him again. I know that if there is something going on, nobody can stop it. So, should I keep silent? One of the reasons I want to ask my friend about this is I want to know if she tells me the truth or she knows that something is going on and just doesn’t want to tell me. Another update . After two weeks of no communication on both sides, I’ve got an e-mail from H. He told me that the weather is cold over there and he cannot go to the pool and ride his sand rail. He also asked me to send a check to pay for something in our business. He told me that he is not planning to come back to town this month unless I need help with the taxes. If I need help, he asked me to let him know and he can come over for a couple of days. I’m not treating this even as “baby steps” at this point. It is just business to him. I’m actually considering to open a different company to handle my contracts separate from his. He is not working now, which means he is not making any money. But he is spending all this time in the vacation home because he knows that I’m bringing money to the company, so the bills will get paid. This also allows him to contact me about the business. If I stop this and he will no longer have an excuse to contact me about the business, will I lose this opportunity?
