Good Lord I think I am.

My plan A is going very well. He has mentioned that OW is freaking out and crying all the time. I act like I dont hear him when he mentions her. Last sunday we were at a friends party and made plans for this Sat night. It is his weekend with son and he said he would get a sitter. We made plans with another couple who we are very close to. On the way home he was talking about when we get back together. Plans and changes he would like to make. At one point he put his hand on my chin and turned me to face him and said " I love you. I want to make it work between us, for us to be a family" and he kissed me.

Then later we were talking about the holidays and he said this year we will split Thanksgiving and spend Christmas Eve and Christmas together. So he wants to spend Thanksgiving with OW and his family then switch us up for Christmas? I dont get him. He goes on and on about us being a family and wanting to be with son and I, but he wants to make OW happy and spend Thanksgiving with her?

UGHHHHHH!!! Im so confused. I really dont want to be his other OW.

he is still in the fog. He sees you being nice and thinks that you are okay with the situation. At least that is my take on it. Still be nice but inform him that does not work for you.

Really he thinks you would just say- hey hon that sounds great. We can play the happy family, and you get a piece on the side, works for me dear... YEAH RIGHT.

Oh well continue being nice, make him really confused and then if he is still wavering, that is when you slam the Plan B into action.

Hang tight. This is so hard, so many emotions. He gets the best of both worlds while your world is crashing around you. Not fun
