Little, I can relate. My H was in the house today and we talked about D and dividing assets, etc. And it did feel like a new wound indeed. I also tell myself that I don’t want to be married to someone who doesn’t want me. He said that he loves me but not in love with me multiple times in the past 9 months since our separation started. And still, I have hard time thinking that my M might be over.
From what I read on multiple sites and books, the EA can last longer than PA. The average length of an affair is about 6 months. The EA can go longer, since they normally live in a fantasy world. Maybe he needs more time to explore that.
I’m not even sure if I can give you any advise here, except to be patient and let it run its own course. I can give you my full support and lots of hugs.
