Let me try to answer your questions.

I have held on so long because I know what he is doing will not last forever and this is so unlike him.

I have relied on faith in God, forgiving him, and lots of patience which is something I did not learn overnight. It takes a long time.

I cannot answer as to why he has not moved home. THe kids have asked him but he says he does not know and to keep praying about it.

I do not doubt he will move back home but it has to be when he is ready and feels right in doing so.

There were lots of circumstances surrounding the first time he came home which I will not get into on your thread but it really was not the right time for him.

I know he still loves me but right now is not the right time to think about intimacy because he is not ready for that yet. He is still with other woman, too.

I adjust, the kids have adjusted, and H and I have been communicating quite a bit lately but there will always be some bumps in the road.

You are in the very beginning stages of this so don't push your H at all and don't ask too many questions either. They hate that.
