Busting, I’m so glad you had some good time and H was engaged with the kids more. There are definitely some positive signs in this direction.

I agree, you NEED to work on your self-esteem. Just because he doesn’t look at you that way doesn’t mean that you are not attractive or interesting or lovable. You ARE all of that. I’m sure any other man would look at you this way.

I actually wrote in my thread that when my H came a few days ago I didn’t see anything in his look that would tell he has any feelings for me. It made me sad, but it didn’t undermine my self-esteem. I know that I am attractive, I get the compliments all the time. I used to joke about it before the BD, that a lot of other men I meet tell me that I’m such a nice and easy going person, pay compliments to me and give me lots of attention, but my H seems to be not interested in me that much. Now I know that he was already checking out of the M back then.

So, keep your chin up! Tell yourself that he doesn’t define you, you are an incredible woman.
