NAP, I didn’t realize your kids are 15 already. They must be very good kids to say that they don’t want to reject their Dad and hurt his feelings. You should be proud of them and yourself. There must be something you are doing to set a good example for them.
As for the ow being “madly in love”… I don’t know… After reading about her abusive h, I think that she is just the type of person who would cling to anyone who doesn’t abuse her. She will probably try to hold on for as long as she can. I don’t know about your H though… He might get tired of this eventually.
I can relate to you feeling nothing and thinking about the bad picture of your H. I had similar moments. I still think that I’m going to be hurt at first, if I see some romantic pictures of my H with some OW, since I didn’t have to experience this yet. But, I think I will get over it pretty quickly. I hope…
I admire your determination to finalize this and move on. I have to do this at some point too, as my H seems to be in the same “happy” mood as yours, thinking that this will last forever…
