This is my first post on DR site although I've been reading and relying on it for almost a year.
My husband and I have been married for 30 years and he left last summer saying he wasn't happy. I believe he was in crisis for six months prior to that.
He works in DC and was commuting home, we have a place here in Chicago where we were both born and raised as were our 3 daughters. I was spending as much time as possible in DC.
Living separate was his excuse for wanting a change but it was years of job changes, disappointments and relocations that caught up with us.
And paying for colleges for our children. EA was discoverd in July, he filed for divorce in August. OW was discovered in August, turns out she lives in Seattle where we had lived for 3 years prior to DC, he met her online.
Apparently he wants to moves back to Seattle ( his company let him go so he and his pride ran away) and she is part of the puzzle he is trying to piece together.
She's been divorced twice, not attractive at all and seems unintelligent. Not sure of the attraction.
Fast forward to Jan when he dropped the divore suit and starting reaching out more. Not much but a noticeable difference. He came home in mid April for a memorial and we spent the weekend together, no intimacy just hugs and kisses and he told me he loved me.
We spent last weekend together as well ( both times we stayed in separate rooms) and again he seemed very normal and very much like my husband except a better version.
We golfed, had dinners together and hung out with family. He hugged me at one point and said 'we're ok' not sure what that means since I've heard very little from him this week.
Two text messages regarding a sick friend. So, is he reconnecting? OW seems to be gone although I don't know for sure.
He was spending a lot of time on Facebook late night which he's no longer doing. So crazy, I know.
I'm 53 and dealing with teenage stuff!! Thanks for listening- C
