Yes he was. He had more energy, was more playful and sometimes downright giddy. He wanted to have sex everyday (instead of every couple of months). He did try to pick some stupid fights with me and was more critical of me occasionally.

After I discovered one A he took it underground, and also was trying to start another one. That was the happiest I have ever seen him. He even said that he had never felt so good about himself in his whole life, that his self esteem was "at an all time high."

He usually sleeps at least 10 hours a day, frequently more. But during the A he could get up early and stay out late.

So yes, much happier during an A.

My WH was mean an nasty. He mostly gave me the silent treatment with occasional explosions against the children and myself. He would be "nice" if others were around, but was abusive at home.

FWH was a big nasty mean asshole. One of his favorite phrases to me was "Shut up, bitch". And, I would respond "F*ck you!" Yeah, we were quite the charming pair.

WH was very distant and always cold and moody. His favorite phrase was that "he was not happy and that everything in his life was making him unhappy (including me)" I thought it was job stress, turned out to be an A.

I keep reading those that say their WS's were mean and distant to the kids too. So was mine and it is something I still struggle to get past.

Yes, he never communicated with me more than during his affairs. He was texting both if us like crazy. I'm kinda shocked by these responses.,,,

She was in a fantastic mood most of the time, but would really get mad if me or the kids made her focus on the crappy reality that was "home life". She had all kinds of energy, too-she could do her job and text OMM 30-40 times a day and talk to him on the phone for hours...

Yes she was in a better mood and actually more sexually active with me. I find that odd. Since she broke it off things have cooled down with us in bed
