I am here and I can trust that if I see any positive movement on H part I can stop and look if I see more of the same...I need to keep going
From my experience, I have found that men can get discouraged easily if they try something new (and positive) and don't see a good response, they conclude that they failed and then they give up. I wish I knew this before the S. I didn't and my H gave up trying. If you can muster some energy, consider acknowledging his efforts. If not, he may give up prematurely and then you might very well see more of the same old him.
