ILYBINILWY - OW - what to do next 3

[Coconut]

SJW, words everyone wants to hear, especially so early in the sitch, you responded great.

Here's my thoughts, for what it's worth..

If you feel you must respond, I'd start with something like "there is no need for me to engage in a talk about us when you have a gf?"

He needs to sweat it out, put in work (actions) earning you back.

You need to be absolutely convinced, to you're core, that he means it.

I agree with what you said about him bouncing back and forth, if it was me I'd want him to spend some alone time and see him working on himself (go to IC on his own, fix things with his family, become a great dad (again), and start treating you right.)

Try reaching out to BluWave on her thread, she may be able to give you some insight.

Oh, and don't get your hopes up, it could very well just be a moment of weakness in him, maybe due to an argument with OW, and that's why I would want to see actions before I started R talk... When/If you think he does mean it, maybe spend a little family time as friends..
