What remains to be seen is the two of you have the commitment to work on issues and grow in ways that are difficult, so that he can become a better H and person? This is a time for us to work on those underdeveloped parts of ourselves. Piecing provides each partner a second chance to address unresolved issues, but time is not the sole healer. There is work to be done.

What concerns me is that we seemed to have been working our way towards resolving our R issues, but then he got cold feet. On top of that, he is "sort of" seeing somebody now, while he is not sure what he wants to happen with us. The seeing somebody else bothers me.
Maybe he is just not as committed to making this work. As soon as it gets tough, he bails?
Has anybody else had a similar experience with their spouse going backwards like this?
