sandy, thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. If you want to remind yourself how other people "fake" piecing, keep following my thread... LOL
I think all the stages you and your H are going through, are natural and necessary. All poisonous (spelling?) things are getting out of your systems slowly but surely. I have read (here also) that WAH do feel guilt to a tremendous level once they really start connecting to their partners, because the realise they hurt the person they love most. He needs to deal with it and you must help him like you do. I believe once this guilt issue is lifted (or faded) he will be able to love you like he has never done before... Be patient with him. He now lives the consequences of his actions. Especially since it seems he is not the kind of "serial cheater" guy and he probably cant understand how he did that... xxx Thanks K
