H has a history of helping needed women in our 22 years. I know that history needs to end if we are ever to get back together.
I can identify with your H on that topic - When my self-esteem is really low, it seems easier to spend time with someone who is really needy and pathetic, than someone who is more headstrong and independent (like my W).
He probably thinks he's a piece of crap right now, and some loser who can't function on her own is the best he can handle.
