H had an affair, now wants me back,,,

[ntl]

H and I have had some good phone interactions while he's been away. We've been connecting and he's really been making a great effort to call me when possible. Small steps, small steps.

I am still scared and have some shaky thoughts at times, but I am trying.

Another thing...he's also been very up front with me about his compulsions to watch porn or other things that are 'at-risk behaviors.' He tells me when he's getting an impulse to act out and he is calling me or reading his SAA (sex addicts anonymous) green book (mainly the stories of addicts in there and their journeys). He says it helps him stay sober and that he is feeling really good about himself when he conquers his compulsions.

This makes me really hopeful...like he's finally trying to attack the root of what has caused him to seek ways to fill compulsions.

Still trying to be realistic though...

Regards,
