I suppose one other thing I should mention - it's not like it's impossible he wants to figure out how to reconnect with you, Portia. Time will tell for that.
I don't think he thinks of you as the consolation prize. If that were the case, he wouldn't come back at all after this amount of time. Who would do that? That's way too much work for anyone at this point. No, if I were the one that did all those things, I'd keep going once the OW was out of the pic. Why? Because I'm not going to go through all that pain and embarrassment for a "consolation" prize. Hell to the no, girl!
As I said, he'll be around quite a bit I'm sure. At least for a while. And as he does this, I suspect your feelings will be all over the map - kind of like at BD.
Thinking this through a bit more since the previous post, I'm rethinking what he's doing. Even if it comes across as a d*ck move, I think it's a genuine attempt to make a connection.
In time, you'll figure out what you're willing to do or not. Because at the end of it all, it really is your choice. And I'm guessing if you can't see a reason to do it, you'll figure out a reason to walk away. It really is up to him to try and make you believe in him and it's up to you to figure out if you're going to and how all of that is going to look.
Make sense?
