Thanks yellowrose. It similarities and differences are interesting. My H appears to be too afraid to move home because he says it took so much for him to leave (I need an eye roll icon!!!). He did tell me and the C that he wanted to move out of his apartment by the end of the year...but I don't see that happening...he referred to it as his sancuary (his word) just the other night. Plus, it doesn't help that he will be in "trial mode" (where he doesn't do much but live, eat and breath his case) for the next couple of months.
I know you said your H cycled a lot. Did he still cycle after he told you he wanted to work on the M? Even though My H and I are in MC and my H says he wants work on the M, it still seems like he backs off when we get too close. I admit that it could partially be my fault though since I am not always that good at staying away from R talk.
I am also wondering if the "pressure" of the holidays may be having some effect on my H. He seems a little wierded out at the thought of being around some of my family that he hasn't seen since the bomb. My H even booked a trip with his D leaving Christmas day (just like he did last year). I was hurt that he didn't discuss it with me before he made the reservations. Do you recall how your H handled the holidays when you were reconnecting?
