That's the best track. Be thankful that at least he is willing to put in the effort. Time and lack of contact will put OW further and further in the distance. He has to choose how far he will emotionally re-attach to you. Hopefully he is starting to realize what he might loose and be man enough to work on it.
For now, pray hard and live with the blessings you do have. It might not be ideal, but at least his efforts seem to be headed in the right direction. I get the impression from you that at least his heart seems to be pointed in the right direction too.
