Absolutely I would say that is progress in the right direction...I just remember very very well how difficult it is not to have your partner desire you as you desire them...or love them...that was so hard for me to grasp how "all of sudden" he just didn't love me anymore...it was a real emotional hurdle when he returned and said "I still can't say I love you."...in our talks he did express that he wanted to love me again but didn't know how or when that would happen...so my patience was put to the test yet more...another year before I heard those words again...
I only know what I know from a woman's point of view and from what H has been willing to share with me...I don't know how it feels to be a H that has been left behind...I imagine it is the same in many ways...and in others vastly different...
My hope is with your family...and that you can make it through this a better person in the end...
