W2G and Jen, thanks for your support - it's good to get other people's views.
I feel the evening went well. Like I said before, H was more like his normal self, although sad. I usually find that once we have a "good" evening, he then goes back into his tunnel and becomes the alien again: very distant, beaty eyes, guilt ridden. As for myself, I find that I develop certain expectations for our R and then I backslide when he withdraws again. I know I have to prepare myself for this as my backslides have been detrimental to our sitch.
H has mentioned several times that he doesn't see himself in a R that is unsustainable (referring to OR) yet he has really pursued OW. Any thoughts?
