Hi Nitaf,

No, there hasn't been an OW. When my MIL brought it up as a possibility last summer, he about flipped his lid. He was really angry because he didn't want to be equated with his father (who left his mom for OW - after numberous other flings - and went on to have about 6 kids - but never came back to he and his sister at all).

He was unhappy. He said he didn't love me any more. I really am convinced that the person he was unhappy with is the person that he had become - overweight, not active in his life or with his kids, etc. Now he has lost a great deal of weight, plays with the kids, has a renewed energy, etc. And as a result, he is happier. I don't think he'll ever admit that I wasn't the only problem in his life. Sure we had issues in our R, but I think his own issues compounded them. Who knows. I just want to learn from the old R, build a new R and move on...

BTW, I just got an email from my H saying that he was planning to stop by on the way back to his office after a morning meeting - and wanted to know what was for lunch. I know my H, he's looking for a nooner -

So on we go - piecing, piecing, piecing - with PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE...
