Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

My W and OM have given each other until year's end to make a decision (to continue the A or not).

The OM leaves to start his new job in two days (2K miles away). The initial plan is (according to my W and the OMW) is that he'll be flying back every two weeks.

My W will be flying out to see an old friend (not a close friend) from her previous job. She hasn't seen him in 10 years. She will be away for a week to reflect and to seek counseling/guidance from him. He and his W divorced years ago after he found his W in an A w/another man. My W said that she wants to talk to someone who is unbiased, and wants to hear things from a male PoV. So far, the three people she confided in (her two close friends and a cousin) are biased towards her. She recognizes that. These were her words.

I will also be starting a new job next week.

We also plan on going on a week-long family vacation in November.

Lots of potential game-changing events are ahead. The future is uncertain, but I have optimism and hope.
