I can't believe it. If you would have asked me 4 weeks ago how I saw my future. I would have said....me as a single parent....my WH with the OW....and 3 little lost souls wondering what the heck was going on.<P>Not anymore. <P>It's only really been a week into recovery now and my WH is the model husband now. He's showing no signs of withdrawl at all. Guess it helps that the OW has turned psycho and refuses to accept that it's over.<P>He has handed over his cell phone to me.....agreed to write a no contact letter....or tell her in person...with me there that he wants to have no contact with her whatsoever in any way EVER and that he wants to be with me and the girls. He's agreed to do whatever it takes to make this work....and he's doing it on his own...without me asking for any of it. HE is the one suggesting all this stuff.<P>He shows me tons of affection....I don't have to question whether or not he loves me anymore. I get a million I LOVE YOU'S a day now. He tells me when the OW contacts him...and he isn't calling her back or making any attempt whatsoever to. He's being totally honest.<P>He told me last night that he felt stupid....low...and cold for everything that he has done to me....told me he loved me and then gave me the tightest, longest hug....a kiss....and said...I'm never going to let you go...and nobody is ever going to take me away from you. <P>I am still a little bothered by the fact that him and the OW still work at the same place....but they no longer work in the same department. He says that they have no reason to say anything to each other...their breaks are at totally different times as well as lunches....and that if she were to come up to him and try to talk to him....he won't walk...he will run as fast as he can to get away from her.<P>I do so hope he is telling the truth. I truly believe that he is....he is so different this time. Everyone sees it.<BR>He knows my fears...and that I still don't fully trust him and that I don't fully believe everything that he says all the time......but he is making that effort on his own to make all this right and make sure that we work it all out.<P>He also made good on the whole foreclosure deal with out house. He made an arrangment with the bank so that we will have time to sell it. <P>That's about it for now....so much is happening lately....all for the good.
