Another day in my exciting life! Things in my sitch are the same as usual, though, I am feeling more detached and happy with myself. H called twice yesterday, once in the morning with a financial question, and again at 11:00 p.m. from the machine shop he is practically living in. The last call was a nice thing: it does mean he's thinking of me. I have stopped asking for those calls, and am working to not let it bother me when he doesn't. (I went out to dinner with a fabulous friend and had a lovely evening, btw.)

I have come to realize that H's current all-consuming project fills the same need(s) for him as I think OW did: He goes where he feels wanted, needed, and his ego is fed. So, I'm working on providing that for him in our home, though it has to be done in the very short time he's actually here, and without pursuing of any kind. I'm finding that I can do loving things in a detached way, and it feels nice to be able to give without expecting anything in return.

Just to be sure, I want to ask y'all: I'm on the right track, correct? I know OW is pursuing him...not sure how persistently, but she is nontheless. It's good that I'm not pushing/pulling him in any way.?
