Good morning my friend. I'm happy you're bearing up so well, and that I found your new thread. Love that song, and how appropriate, as that's exactly what our spouses have been doing -- taking us to the limit...of our patience! 

Someone mentioned selling patience shovels, maybe Snodderly? Maybe you can talk your boys and their cousins into opening a patience shovel stand, like some kids sell lemonade. They'd make a killing!

That's a good sign that he asked you to trim his hair while stark naked. Like he said once, the human touch! My H did something similar yesterday too, I was brushing my teeth and he came in and urinated right next to me. Just whipped it out! I was flabbergasted, he has become so private and secretive lately that he insists I knock on his door even when it's open. Strange. 

Glad he called you, even if he was suspiciously chatty! Did he mention anything about itching?

TVS you said "he has already admitted there is something wrong with him. Not that he's doing anything to fix it. I feel like there is such a complicated web of deceit that has been spun with H and OW. Not only would he have to admit HE was wrong, but he would have to admit that this messed up crazy woman he put on a pedestal and almost threw away everything for really f-ed me over too." That will be a hard thing for any man to have to face and admit. Maybe you'll never hear those exact words. But you know his mind is moving towards accepting this truth, and these five days with FT will speed things along for him. Hang on dear, you are THE PRIZE -- FT already knows it! 

Raine that's so funny that your H couldn't even reassure his OW that he would date her in the fiture! Like Holly06 said "my H's OW was so awful it gave me confidence!" smile

rH how are you doing today? Still bearing up? You two must be feeling lots of ups and downs, but mostly at peace with yourselves and the place your Hs are right now. 

I'm so ready for this too: "And for the "and for the next 30 years of their M he adored her and was sorry for his behavior" part!!! "
