I have followed your thread over on Surviving and didn't realize how much we had in common, especially the five years mark. My husband has been gone that long, but lived with the ow "only" about 3-1/2 years of it.
Your sitch is so encouraging! You have seen your ex more than I see my husband because all my kids are grown and out of the house - he didn't even see them for the most part - for five years! Just recently he started seeing our sons again and I saw him then too, but he's remained somewhat distant from me. Worse of all he's still with the ow. YUCK!
I'm praying that things continue to work out for your marriage. You sound like you're playing it smart.
