Rinse, repeat, replay

What are the differences between MLC and WAS? Any good resources for that? Does it matter? All pretty much the same as far as dealing with it?

I think relationship is getting much more serious with OW#1, spending a lot more time together. Also, H seems to be much happier. He is going out a lot more, instead of the usual sit at home for days. He is messaging me more, but also saying things like, I just needed to tell you this so you weren't surprised when you saw it, or some other reason for needing to tell me. Finance talk, that sort of thing. He is posting songs that I would read into one day, sending me jokes the next day. He is very nice to me, as I am to him. Asking me if I need help with things, before running to spend time with OW. Feels like more of his old self. Just a weird position to be in where I know what he is doing, and he likely feels like I'm just another pawn in his game. His birthday is coming up. I don't know what to do about that one.
