I agree with GEL. Actually, all of your H's talk of "passion" set off bells in my head that he really is looking for more than friendship with this OW. I had OM during our separation and talked about "passion" a lot with H. That was really my code word for "having hot sex with someone else." Sorry to be so blunt. I just think people, women especially, can be very naive when it comes to what their spouses are capable of when they are feeling desperate. And I have no doubt your H is getting to, if not immersed, in feelings of desperation about your M. BTDT.
