None of us get it. My h cried several times through this but like I said Nov. 06 is when he really reached out.
Yes that is all a part of it. He is withdrawing from you. Nothing matters to him at all. Not the family, kids, nothing. They go into their selfish mode. When they are gone they do think. My h said he thought about us all the time but he was so lost.
Keep your chin up and try not to worry about your h being happy, he might think he is right now but he's not!
