Hey there, Corey. Haven't posted to you in awhile, but I'm always reading along.

My guess is that going to a movie together is a way for him to be close and to connect with you. If your H is anything like mine, which I know you and I have said they are in some ways, I think he still loves you, regrets everything he's done to you and the kids, and is really afraid of you moving on. That's why, even after all that has happened, he is still wanting to spend time with you. But is the fact that he still loves you enough?

I ask that because I guess I thought it was enough for me, but it's really not. My H is back home, again, and he has not changed. In a small area, he has, but overall, he has not. Not nearly enough to show me that he TRULY cares about my feelings. The moment we disagree or I have a different opinion about something, he is still dismissing my POV as being "wrong" because it doesn't coincide with what HE thinks I should be thinking or feeling.

My point - Your H might be charming/understanding/compassionate and wanting to spend time with you today, but he will very likely turn back into a toad tomorrow, and that's especially true if he's not getting any help to improve himself. I think you mentioned before that he wasn't going to IC anymore?

Always hoping the best for you and your babies.
