I spend most of my time lurking these days - not much is changing in my sitch, except that I am getting stronger in myself every day. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I read a lot about the WS 'crashing', about the affair world turning upside down and the fantasy imploding. I see many signs of this happening in other people's sitches, where the WS is crazy and out of control, obviously in freefall.
Not mine, though. He's always seemed so sure that what he's done is the right thing. Now, nearly ten months after he left, things are no different. In fact, the relationship between STBX and OW appears to have 'stablised', as the children have now met OW. They seem to like her, too.
My STBX is a classic CA. OW seems to be in control of him completely. She's a strong person. I wonder if she is a stablising influence on him - he seems to be drinking less, and is still calling the girls frequently, and is usually only a little late when he comes to take them out! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
I see no signs of disorder, strife or conflict in their relationship. I realise, of course, that there is much I cannot see or know. But, after ten months, I had hoped to be able to detect more than this.
I don't want him back any more - except sometimes, on a cold night like this it would be nice to have a chat and a cuddle. You don't get much intelligent conversation from a hot water bottle, that's for sure. I wonder if he thinks about me at all. Although I'm divorcing him, I still think about him all the time. I wonder if any LB-ing goes on in the Septic Lovenest at all!
I think that he's too passive to crash. OW just wouldn't allow it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Where do you imagine YOU will be in 5 years? Signing copies of my second blockbuster novel in my local Waterstones. Or, On a beach with someone I haven't met yet, but who is very nice indeed. Or, Helping my elder daughter choose between all the medical schools fighting for the right to teach her. Or, Looking back on all of this, and realising it was the turning point in my life, and being grateful for the chance it gave me to grow and improve. Alph.

Hi Alph -
Similarly, my XW and former friend (OM) don't seem headed for a crash either. Oh well, and so what?
Pep's question is appropriate and your response hit the mark.
Despite the absence of a crash, you and I are still WAY better off than them and content in our new found wisdom, huh?
I bet the sound of our integrity and honor screams a lot more louder than their crash would.
Please send me a copy of your first AND second books. BTW, In five years I'll be retired and cruising the globe with my new found love.

Alphin, My H is much like yours, passive. He too shows no sign of a crash. I have had several people tell me "He is out on a limb and the limb will soon break". Well this has gone on for almost 3 years and no break or crash. We have been separated for 3 months now and he shows no signs of coming home. He is going through what I would call a Christian Midlife Crisis. Its a God thing, he thinks.
You can have one good thought about your STBX. His being stable is good for your children. In many situations the children suffer so much.
My counselor showed me a empty picture frame and ask who do I see in the picture in six months.....one year.....It was sad to think about but I will probably be alone. My sons are grown 19 & 23. Just when you think your life can slow down and maybe you can enjoy things alittle..wham..You have to get a second wind and start over.
We are still "trying" to reconcile. But is doesn't look very good right now. Its hard when they are in a fog and use God to make it look right.
Best to you and God bless

It's so incredibly annoying when the girls are sucked into believing it's all ok?
What happened about the trip where you thought they'd stay overnight with OW and WH? If you posted I missed it.
Actually, you've probably gone to bed now - at least I hope it. Hope your health is stable. TT
