It sounds like some positive 'Baby steps' as I always say. What your H fails to realize - b/c they really can't or don't want to - is you will not be the same kind of friends if you D. Or at least I could not - it would hurt to much. My H finally admitted he would have made the biggest mistake leaving me - yet his arrogance lets him believe I would have waited for him or still would have been close to him. What they fail to realize is truly how deep the hurt cuts us and if they continue on the path to end the M then they ultimately will end the true friendship - for me they go hand in hand....
Go on the trip and make it a happy and fun family time - let him see what he stands to lose. He is still unsure of how to really come back to you (it only took my H three times to figure it out - how I lasted that long is beyond me!!!).
You are his beacon of light as someone put it - help him find his way 'home'!!!
