Does any one have or know of someone who's spouse just seems to be afraid to come back home? I really think that's a big part of where my H is right now. When my S7 asked him about coming home my H told him he was afraid to. Then a few days ago we were talking and he made a comment about he didn't know how to get to that point where he can believe I'm really paying attention this time. I understand his fear. He doesn't want to come back and have me not be there for him like before. I know words aren't going to do it but I have told him that I get it and I realize where I went wrong. He says sometimes he believes me. I may be wrong in thinking this but that's just the impression I've gotten over the last couple weeks.

If anyone has any suggestions or advice I'd appreciate it. I guess really all I can do is just give him more time.
