I don't think it was much backsliding. I don't have much time to post, but next time no ILYs, that's the only bad thing IMHO.

My H was also like this. It was very weird for me. But you know what? He is living in sin, and sin will tear you apart. He is struggling right now, and this is good. You just be that sympathetic (is that the right word?) ear and friend, don't help him out, but just be there. You are being a good person, and looking on him with sympathy is good.

don't feel bad about the hugs, or your family loves you. just don't say "I" love you. ;\)

If he calls, you don't have to answer right away, but if you really need the distance, just choose a good time for you to call back.

I think your doing really good!

I'll try to give you more on my story, you can always go to this website and email me from there if you want. I check it more often. http://www.mymonavie.com/crissy
