Raindeer, I can't accept the situation, which is why I asked H to move out last Nov. That is when I found out H was having an EA with the same ow as before. (Since ow lives 2000 miles away I don't think it is a PA this time). I told him to either call it quits with ow or get out....he left. I can't be certain ow is still in the picture, but all indications point that way.

Yesterday S15 had to put flags out at business for the 4th. H picked us up early in the morning to set them out, then came by late afternoon so we could take them down. One would think we were just one big happy family.

After taking the flags down, H brought us back home. I have been getting in the habit of thanking H then getting out of the vehicle before he has a chance to shut it off and come in. I tried that again but H shut the vehicle off and came into the house. The kids were scattered so it was just H and I. We chit-chatted til supper, which H helped me make and clean up. Then, H went outside and trimmed a bunch of the trees. I saw what he was doing, but I just stayed inside and cleaned out the bunny cage.

H just took it for granted that the kids and I were all going to the lake to see the fireworks with him, so I just went along with his plans. Had a really nice time with a lot of laughs and oohing and aahhhing over the fireworks. H then brought us home, helped unload the car, said good night and left.

So much of the time our interactions seem so "normal", which is why it is so hard to understand what is going on. One day at a time I guess.

Wishing
