Okay, let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe he does not know how. We all know that guilt affects people in different ways.
What was he like before all of this started--did he have a hard time communicating, getting his point across, showing affection? We don't know.
It seems to me like he needs professional help. Saying it is one thing but getting him to do it would be another matter.
Give the guy some credit for wanting to come home but I am not so sure he knows how to get this behind him and get on with his life, his marriage, etc.
