I hope so too Dawn. I understand what you mean about having been willing to live in a tent with him. Finances, or the lack of, are a big part of MLC. There are so many threads where part of the MLCer's craziness is out of control spending, hiding secret credit cards and stuff like that. Someone, SA I think, said his wife bought $3,000 of clothes just on herself in May! That would put a dent in the household budget!
I really think your H's statements show that he is realizing that his running has not helped him. But it seems to be hard for them to give up their OW completely. Hopefully your H really means it that he has given her up. Trying to drop a MLC OP is probably like trying to quit smoking or drinking. They get lots of comfort from the smoking, drinking, boinking. Just drop OP cold turkey seems like the best way to me.
Enjoy your weekend while he's working. Do something nice for yourself Dawn. Ice cream always helps me!
