It's nice though that your h is realizing that he wants to work on the M.
Call me skeptical or a cynic BUT Actions speak louder than Words. TOH's h is a drunk and a liar. does he want to work on the marriage or does he just want to prevent TOH from having a life of her own that is not controlled by him.
I don't see him running back more a drunken stagger! I can't speak for TOh but I do think sometimes yes it is like flicking a switch, everyone has a point of no return-well nearly everyone. Maybe B has shown TOH what good men are like, something she has not been used to in a very long time I guess. I agree it complicates things but we can't always choose the timing of these things and if he gives her the strength to grow and heal and the self belief that with or without B she is going to take charge of her own life and be happy then I say he is a blessing to her. That said I do understand everyones concerns. It is a fine line.
