Just wanted to say that I think you are doing much better as of late and I'm *so* glad to read about it. Great idea on the deodorant and all of that stuff. I know that kind of thing probably seems trivial but it's my opinion that that little day-to-day stuff is as important, if not more important, to a relationship as all of the nights out/romantic dinners and such.
One other thing...you might be right about the OW putting some pressure on him. Great! Strategically, she couldn't be doing it at a better time for you! You are back on your horse...being positive, doing loving things for him without expectations, maintaining a level head but not being a doormat. In other words, you are being a strong, caring, worthy person while she is being needy and pressuring him!
Really, I can't tell you how much of a lift it gives *me* to know that you have gotten out of your rut and are feeling good again!
Keep up the great work! You can look back in the last couple of weeks and know that you are incredibly strong. A rock.
