It's just my observation from my own experience, but it sure seems like your H has real potential of coming out of this despite your doubt.
That one email he sent you had more thought and emotion in it than most of us LBS's see from our WAS's. My stbx and I use to be able to communicate on a very deep level. Now, I look into her eyes and there's nothing there. She's like a zombie, never mind any intelligent or emotional thought. It's like she's completely void of any spiritual presence or self awareness if that makes any sense to you. I wish I could be more descriptive so that you can see the contrast between your H and most of our WAS's. He's at least in touch with his inner conscience and he's able to at least know there's something wrong.
You still have the opportunity to communicate on a deeper level with him and that is where you can begin to re-connect again. The rest of us are strangers to our WAS's, but your H is not afraid to tell you what he's feeling inside. Keep up the D'bing, I'd like to see a success story here.
