Wow your H sure contacting you a LOT NLT, his little MLC swiss cheese mind seems to be reeling now that OW has jumped ship. How funny that she left after finding a mouse! And it wasn't even dead! I wonder if that's enough to put her off living in the country permanently!
And if she's gone for good, what will happen now with her on H's health care policy? Did you ever mention that to him, or are you just letting it slide? Insurance fraud really isn't a joking matter; they could both find themselves in big trouble. At the least your H's policy would be canceled; and the insurance company could institute a civil claim against him. There are also possible criminal penalties. It would be a shame to find his policy cancelled if you are still insured under it just because of that scheming OW.
It sounds like you are really paying close attention and observing him! I can just picture you in your T2 goggles and lab coat! I'm glad his eyes don't dart around anymore when he talks to you; my H's eyes do that when he lies. His eyes slide to the side and he cannot look me in the face. Like a little kid!
It's good that you are finding it easier to be alone now and have been able to get rid of all of your expectations; you are really getting strong NLT. I'm proud (and a bit envious) of you to have gotten this far this fast!
Thanks for contrasting your experiences with your H living in the house and away from the house. It sounds like having him out is a bit easier for you. It IS awfully hard to have them right in your face all the time, but I would miss my H, craziness and all, if he ever leaves me. Well I guess I'll get the chance to find out in a couple of weeks.
Keep doing what you're doing, it seems to be working! Carry on!
