There you go, getting ahead of yourself again, mdu. Every, single time H starts to nibble, you want to pull the line.
Slowwwwwwwwwwww and steady.
My two cents: Let an in-home S be your H's idea, just like you gave him the opportunity to offer to help with mowing instead of asking for his help. Your H has it in him to initiate movement toward you and the family. Clearly. Let him drive that ship.
The kids will be fine, no matter what, because they have two parents who adore them.
Just enjoy these moments when things look up with H and continue your GAL. THAT is the golden ticket.
