I don't know if it applies in our sitches, but I was reading in Mars/Venus a couple weeks ago and it talks about men naturally pulling away when they feel connected or close...that they instinctively need some space, and that if we just understand this and give them the space they'll more eagerly come back for more closeness.
It seems to me that when you put infidelity into the equation it throws everything off kilter, but just knowing that he really does need some space has helped me feel a little more sure of myself.
