I can't be 100 percent certain, but during our false recovery H and I went over the MB stuff. So he knows some of the principles.

I'm pretty sure that my H is trying to NC me to end OUR "affair," probably with the encouragement of OW! The silence has been too long, too unnatural, and I'm getting the feeling that he's avoiding places he might see me. By doing so he is avoiding some of his official responsibilities.

While I don't object to the silence, per se, this whole thing is getting to feel pretty weird. Prior to this, he would leave messages for his kids to call "our" home to have dinner with "us" (OW & H). Now he doesn't seem to be contacting his kids, even. Unless he is doing so through their mom when they were at her house recently.

Anyone have any experience with something like this?

Thanks, CNF. In a way, H's new "policy," and I'm beginning to think it is a policy, and not accident, helps me have a good time. But still, it's kind of strange. From his point of view, why bother?

Observe this latest phenomenon without making assumptions about what it all means.

He might be avoiding places and people, he might be going to other places with other people.

This will unfold based on their choices.

You sound great.

Well, I won't make any assumptions -- but there hasn't been even an email (except anniversary utilities bill) or phone call in over a month. Not even to kids, from what I can tell. All of this can't be coincidence, I finally figured out. Actually, I don't even know what assumptions to make about this, or if I should do anything about it.

H and OW were being very public and "out there" a month ago. Now they've gone dark. They will have to stay dark if they wish to avoid me -- and all of that's fine with me, from one perspective.
