Dropping by to check in on some of my cohorts. We are in such similar spots. Hang in there. I think it's normal to one day feel hopeful, and the next wonder "what the heck are we doing?" At least that has been the way with me. It's hard to hang in there, and fight. But you ARE seeing progress. Him agreeing to go to counseling, is huge. Him admitting that he is afraid to be hurt again is huge.
Please try try try to GAL, and be positive. Enjoy the good moments, and you know.... look at his actions, not his words. He's obviously not in any hurry, and in the scheme of the life of a marriage, what is a few months, or even a year. If time is what you guys need to heal, then please give him and yourself that time.
Hang in there, Chris
