My H doesn't seem happier now either. I think that when he is with OW he can "forget" about everything b/c she keeps him distracted from the reality, but I can tell that H still isn't any happier. I think they try to convince themselves that they are b/c otherwise they would have to admit that they made a mistake.
Coming here helps me and also I read a lot of self-help books. Have you read any books by Hal Urban? "Choices that Change Lives" or "Life's Greatest Lessons". They are great books.
H & I are having our d6 birthday together this weekend, I'm kind of nervous b/c I never really know how I should act around him. I still love and miss him so much so it is painful to be near him, but at the same time I know that if we aren't friends again then there will be no chance of us ever reconciling. Right now with OW still in the picture I am the invisable woman! I'm not sure if she will ever go away - H's A has been going on for 1 1/2 years now. ( he hid it until 4 months ago so it has only been out in the open since then)I'm hoping that this will take some of the excitement out of it and it will end soon.
