I wonder if the OW freaked out to see you in his house too! He had a panic attack because he knew she was on her way. Basically, they're cowards. If they put half as much energy into the marriage as they did into the affair, we'd all live happily ever after.
The relationship with the OW is doomed. The question is, will he come back to you and stay? We can try to remain optimistic, at least until reality knocks us upside the head and we know we have to change course.
And in the meantime, let's GAL and truly work on making ourselves better people. That way, if we're on our own we'll do fine, and if we're with them, we'll have a better chance of a successful relationship. I just can't give up on the relationship yet, but most importantly, I can't give up on me.
