Even though my H is not as crazy/mean as many of the pod people I read about around here, he definitely has manipulation down to a T.
I usually put his niceness into one of three categories:
1. He wants something 2. He feels guilty about something that he's done 3. He feels guilt about something he's going to do.
Niceness towards the kids is different - I see a lot of genuine emotion there.
And there are times where he seems to almost forget that I'm the grumpy old troll that lives under the bridge (Dora reference alert!), and is actually friendly and nice.
But you gotta watch your back - always. Because as soon as you let your guard down, that's when they put the knife right in.
If the OW is truly worried about her father, maybe she should be focusing on him instead of having an A with a married man. Just sayin.
Hope you're having a good day
