While in full replay, my H was not interested to be part of our children life, he was Ok with providing but not being a participant of it, after replay was over, everything changed, he is now very involved, and he changed radically, that's something that I couldn't imagine 2 years ago, he was so obsessed with OW1 and about having his "space" and "freedom".

Nothing is set in stone in life, today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow, so please don't project too much, live in the present. Take care of yourself and your children, protect yourself legally from whatever you need to, if he buys a house while you are married, what could be the financial consequences for you?

Make an appointment wit a lawyer, know your rights, it doesn't mean you want a divorce, but knowledge is power. I learned about my rights and what to look for. Do you know that all the money he is spending on OW, is something "stolen" from the common property, so in case of a divorce you are entitled to be reimburse to 50% of what he spent on OW.
