Aw Ang, you've been thru such a hard time these past 2 weeks, but have been doing great. Your poor H is so confused, but you are standing strong and giving him the space he needs when he needs it, and being there for him when he needs that. I like your and T2's analogy of a dimmer switch. Sort of a combo of STFU and validating, right? It seems like H is trying very hard to figure this out, and to think. Thinking is always difficult for a temporarily crazy person.

You know how Cadet always tells us not to believe a single thing the MLCer says? I guess that's mostly true, but I do believe your H when he told you that his "love" for the OW isn't really love, and that you don't understand their relationship. Infatuation maybe. But how could real love be based on a pack of lies?

And now those lies have been revealed to OW. We'll see what she is made of now, if she sticks to her moral compass now that she learned H is NOT divorced. I was impressed when she told you that divorce is horrible, and that she hopes you can forgive H and work on your marriage. Hopefully she has dropped H like a hot potato.

I agree with Patient Man, you are awesome. I just started telling myself that today too. RT has nothing on me, and OW has nothing on you Angela. Nothing! Don't forget that!
