Good on you for leaving and not really getting into it with H. Obviously, since he apologized, the 180 was a big positive!
There is a good chance that he realized that he IS replaceable and I am sure that does affect their perception. My H has made a comment to a friend that having me move on and seeing his children with a "new dad" would destroy him. She told him then he needed to get into C and fix things, otherwise he has no reason to expect me to sit around lonely forever, I have too much to offer someone else. That was 2 days after he moved out, though, and he was not listening to anyone at that point. Maybe it does not hurt for them to be a little unsure about us moving on???
