Yo LL. Let me try to do some analyzing since you're taking a break...
So, here I am reading about the wood chopping, the curious early arrival at home on the lawyer appointment day, the telephone calls about his whereabouts, the talks about OW, the talks about Love Languages, your H pursuing you more for sex...and it really strikes me that he seems to be trying. I mean, really trying. Doesn't it?
I think maybe you've kind of helped release a burden he's been feeling since coming home--via the frank discussion a number of days ago when you told him where you stand, then a couple days later told him that you forgave him. I think he's been bottling these feelings up inside and you helped him to release some of them; and thus, he's more able to concentrate on giving you what you need. Basically, he's less focused on pain and guilt, and more focused on LL. What say you?
