Hiya
I'm not sure whether to post on this thread or your other one, maybe stick to the one, it'll be easier for you to keep track too. Just trying to provide encouragement really..
It sounds so positive that you can get him properly back in your life. Go all out for a plan A, read it breathe it work it.
Remember the connection they have is a fantasy - you and your H have a stronger connection.
Would his parents be willing to read up on the MB QandA on infidelity? I'm sure they don't want the suffering for their grandchildren.
It destroys my mum to think of the children when me and H are struggling.

I don't know everything about your situation. But I know what its like to have your spouse tell you that they don't love you any more. Honestly I've been trying Plan A for several years now, and it hasn't worked. I have decided to stop doing every thing for him and start doing things for me. Because all that effort that I put in to his happiness made me miserable, because he didn't appreciate it. And my husband didn't even have an affair, I don't think. But if you want it to work with him, you have to make sure he knows that what he is doing is hurting you. And that you aren't going to be his door mat. You can't just forget about your self. Its gotta be mutual. You need to talk to him and make him tell you what he wants for the future.

When did all this start? Will he go to counseling? It looks like he moved out, but comes back some nights? Give us more details if you can...I know it's painful, but it will help with responses.

Being a FWW and knowing that I was totally clueless and wanted to stay in the A myself.
Although we didn't know about MB my H did do the carrot of plan A on me. I started to realise that the A wasn't any better than my M and confessed. Still didn't love my H at this point but recognised he'd been putting in the effort and realised the A was wrong. So based on how I came out of the A, then I'd say it was worth it if you want it. Within days o the A finishing I started to fall back in love with H.
However I am a FWW. you need some input from a BS because they can give you more of an idea of the effort and trauma they have been through and give you the info you need to try to win him back.

Just reply to your own first post. It makes it difficult for old folks like me to follow stories on multiple threads.

I hope this is the right thread. But either way here's my 2 cents. Talk to him. Talk about what you both want for the future, for yourselves and for your girls. You have to come up with options. If he want's out, then you may have to let him go. As unfortunate as it is. You can't force him.
