One last question: The H has said in the past that the A is over because the OW is working on her M with her husband. I don't necessarily believe him. Also, he still insists that we are getting divorced. Do I stick with same boundaries if I find out that the A is actually over?
Broke and G8r, I too struggle with the whole boundaries and Vanilla's comment really helps to illustrate exactly how we should be moving forward and enforcing boundaries to set up a new form interaction and shift the dynamics for a "new" R or just new way of living.
In regards to your comment above, my H also says his A is over with OW and he's not seeing anyone, but I know thats not true. So to piggyback on your question, how does that change interactions with H? My gut tells me it doesn't change interactions that much b/c they're still out there doing whatever it is they're doing. In the same breath, I realized I needed to set boundaries myself along time ago but haven't really tried b/c for some reason I feel like setting boundaries will only push them further away. Also, how do you set boundaries with someone who doesn't care?
