Yes, he is presenting the two of them publically as a couple. However, he has been doing this from the day he officially moved out, so that is not anything new. They've been very public.
He is now saying to his family the divorce is a decision he has made and that he are going to "be together" (a big phrase with OW). This is all the same stuff he's said before.
One thing I won't do is try to talk him out of whatever it is he's doing. If it's what he wants, it's what he wants.
He's not said a word about OW to me, but it's clearly what he is still doing. The most interesting thing to me is he has consistently said none of this "is about" OW.
Quote: I know this is not something you want to do in the early stages, but maybe now there is someone you might like a light, fun evening with? I know your H is a very intelligent and sensitive man, but would it help at all to jog that primitive part of his brain with some jealousy?
I have been thinking about this for a bit, actually, not as a jealousy thing-- as something I might do for myself. There seems to be no lack of interest (that is just such a revelation when you've been with someone for 15 years! feels very odd). There are a few people I'd consider spending a light evening with. I'm going to a party for work this weekend... maybe that will help.
