It sounds like you had a good day. Just remember to keep zero expectations. Who knows how the next interaction will be.
I think they have the fear that if they come back nothing will have changed and they will still feel trapped. I know the week after my wife left she had come back for us to talk. She said she had seen the changes in me that she wanted but she didn't want to be in a relationship anymore. I told her that I wished she would come home and she just kept saying that she was afraid to. That she would find out it wasn't what she really wanted and then have to leave again.
I think they are wary of the changes because they are afraid that if they come back you will change back. I think that it is why consistency is very important so as time goes by they begin to realize the changes you've made are not a trick to get them back. Just my opinion.
