A family friend's H left her for OW. He claimed to be happy then. The W left him alone and go about her business. He returned after 6 or 8 years swearing he doesn't want anything to do with OW anymore...in church!
Now, they are happily playing grandparents to their young grandchildren.

You are a good W and a good person. You don't really deserve this and you still think you pushed him away.
When are you going to stop thinking this way? You've spent a whole thread discussing H and OW.

He is obviously unhappy for a very long period. He told you so. He found OW which made him felt 'alive'. The OW could be anyone. It doesn't matter. He thinks he's 'happy' now with her.
Honestly, I don't think highly of the OW in your case.
And I'm not asking you to wait 6 to 8 years either. That's up to you.
Just be happy. That's going to be very attractive not just to your H but to many men.
