This is exactly what happened with my W. IC and I "got" her to stop with OM1 from 2009-2010, all seemed better until March 2011, something wasn't right. Sept 2011 BD...the nasty, venom BD...and so phase 2 ensued. Very, very much worse.

Personally, I would sit on it. Unless the finances are that bad, let it play out some more. See what he does. When I finally had proof of what I suspected, it was devastating at first. But it gets easier. I focused on the big picture, MY end goal, which was reconciliation. I re-framed it to look at it as if this was a new R, the new person would have been with others before at my age (I hope, lol), so this affair behavior/replay crap is "before our new R"...and even before we got M originally, we both had been with others, and that didn't affect our new R and M together.

That's what worked for me, hope you find something in there that is useful... smile
