Woo hoo Hope now you sound like me with a very sincere lack of pity. I will say your comment was a little rough, but we are always so good that to be bad once in a while. He wants it to be better for you quickly because then he can stop feeling badly about it. Are you kidding, what I did to H was horrible, but God forbid I ever bring up what he did do me. That is just a no no. So I don't but see I have finally FINALLY gotten to where it doesn't bother me.
Yes give space, you need it to even if you don't want to believe it. But now you have got to stop measuring his behavior because it will never be enough or you will actually miss the efforts that do occur.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
