((((JAK)))))
Do we ever get the trust fully back? Do we always have to feel like we are walking on eggshells?

Here is my 2 cents, not worth a whole lot, but I thought I'd throw it out there. We all tend to overanalyze, myself included! I think I'm the queen of overanalyzing! I do think he has a lot on his mind with his mother being sick.We all know how men hold their feelings in more than women. (Men, that is not a jab at you) Everything we read tells us that men and women express feelings differently. This is the hard part, he is probably not fully over the OW 100%. We would like them to be, but I guess it's like any other relationship, you can't just turn it on and off and go cold turkey immdiately. Look what we all have been through and we can't turn our emotions off and stop loving them! Unless you have some concrete proof that he is seeing her, I would just continue trying what you have been doing. You have made so many gains. I do honestly think you H is trying, but he seems to be one that keeps his emotions bottled up. From what you have said he has always been like this.

Hold you head up, you are doing a wonderful job.

Hugs, Yoyo
