istherehope,I haven't posted to you before but I read some. I can only say that your husband has been telling you for some time what he wants and needs, please listen to him. It is hard not to take the small positives and want to run with them,to magnify them in your mind and draw your own conclusions. You must allow him space and have two speeds, slow and very slow. He is trying to be honest with you, he does not want to give you any hope other than that he is trying. For now be happy with that. No this is not recommitment, this is your H giving the relationship another go to see how he feels about it. He could bolt if you do not allow him this space and slowness he requires. The choice is yours as well. Can you go very slowly or are you tired of this speed? Find the patience you need and then some. One more thing do not reply to his emails until you have time to digest what he has said, you have a tendency to knee jerk reactions. Try the 24 hour rule if possible.
