It looks like he is really making an effort. I am scared that he is faking it. I know that someone gave him the (awful) adivce that he should fake that he is happy with me until he has enough money to move out and divorce me and then just drop a bomb on me. He told me at the time that he thought that was just too mean and he wouldn't do that. But he is someone who lies, so I am a little worried.

Sara, it sounds like your H really is making an effort. I think you should act as if he is faithful until you find out otherwise. And if he is unfaithful, I think you will find out pretty quickly!
I would try not to worry about his friend's awful advice. I don't think he would have told you that if he was planning to do it! And the funny thing is, worst case scenario, if he actually started acting happy in your relationship and you do as well, I think you both will become happier in your relationship and I bet he probably wouldn't want to leave anyway. I'm usually pretty optimistic looking at stuff lately, so sorry if that's annoying!
