I'm not sure if my husband is still seeing OW. He works with her so I know he sees her at work. Here are some things that I do to detach:

When I am out, I stay out longer than usual doing something that I want to do.

When he calls I do not answer. He has to call me back again or If I think the call is concerning the kids I will call him back at least 10 min later.

I started saying some of the same things he was saying like:
I will call you back.
I would just hang up the call without any ILY.
I would try to sound irritated when he called like he was interupting something.
I started going out (with friends or by myself)
I try to do things like a single mom, that way I don't have to ask him for anything concerning the kids (this eats him up).
I look good at all times (It really helps me to feel great).
I started making decisions about my life and did not ask his input.
I would do everything for my husband, I stopped doing everything for him. Now he ask for help. This lets him see "the good wife" quality. No other woman is going to take care of his needs like me. She can be a thrill for now, but she won't love him unconditionally.
I stop initating sex (makes him wonder).
Just do anything that you would not normally do.
Most important, I never ask about or speak of other woman.
I stop snooping and I try to think positive.
Everyday is hard, but the more I love myself the better the day goes.
Oh and I stop asking about our marriage. I will only talk about it a little if he brings it up.
Last, make him wonder, when we go out my husbands sees that others are waiting for him to give me up,even his so called friends. It makes them think about what they have.

I am still learning to detach, it is a long process but it can be done.
