A lot of what I read suggests they need this OW to help them realise what they are missing, I worry that if he keeps jumping from one to the other without anything physical, he may never get through this MLC.

Similarly I don't want it to get to physical as I'm not sure ill be able to forgive that.

These are my exact thoughts as well. I don’t think my H has OW yet, and I’m not sure if has/had real EA, but I know that he exchanges the flirtations and sometimes even explicit texts with female so called “friends”. At the same time he has this fantasy in his head about “harmonious and effortless” relationship with someone he is supposed to meet any time soon. Sometimes I think that it would be better if he had an OW already, so he could return to real world, but then I think that if he has OW, I will not be able to forgive that too.
