After a week of a very good (although short) Plan B, WH contacted me to tell me he wanted to move back home and work on our marriage. Long story short, I think I may have gave in too easily. You see, unlike a lot of the stories I read on here, he didn't come crawling back begging or tearfully sorry and regretful.

I'm not posting this on the Recovery board because of this one thing: he refuses to end his "friendship" with the OW. This was revealed after he moved back in. He claims there is nothing there, but that they are friends. I've told him that she is a risk to our relationship plain and simple. I told him if she's so great a person and friend, she should have no problem with NC. She should understand. I asked him what does she think of this situation, him living here and being her "friend" and he said he hadn't talked about it with her. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

He moved back Monday night. Tuesday, he went to lunch with several coworkers. He rode with OW in her car, just he and her. They went to 4wheel parts store after lunch together to buy some part. After work, they hung out in the parking lot and b.s.'d with some other offroader for a long hour.

I knew about all this because when I talked to him, I asked during the day. "Who did you go to lunch with?" "Did you go to the store alone?" etc.

On one hand, he's told everyone that he's back home, but on the other hand he's doing this!?! I did not fly off the handle when he got home nearly 2 hours late on his first day home, but I sure am seeing this as a sign. Why would he even bother coming back to this house if this is what his plan is?

If he keeps this up, it'll be me filing for a D. Maybe that's his plan.

All I know is, I am at a loss as to what to do now. I got what I wanted, problem is, it's not what I wanted.

Stop,

I think you are fooling yourself...or your H is fooling you.

I know not your whole saga. Does OW have an H? Can you talk to her woman to woman and tell her the sitch? Tell her to back off? If H works with her...that doesn't help either.

Now that he is back home, flaunting the continued contact, you seem to be in a pickle.

What if you said.."It's me or her"?

krusht - I've talked to OWH and they are getting a D. OW is living with her parents at the moment and will be moving into an apt at the end of this month. I could probably talk to her but I have a feeling it'll be a bunch of lies from her to me.

WH and I have a MC appt on Friday. I will most likely bring it up then. I don't know what he'd do right now if I said me or her. Would certainly be an eye opener.
