I think part of this guard down, is feeling less guilty. You appear to, want what he wants (same w/my H) - so they don't feel as guilty or afraid. What is it with these men?!?!?
Just out of curiosity, when things were good, did your H talk about his feelings or desires much?? Or did he & you didn't listen? At times I think my H did & I didn't really listen. What he was feeling - obliviously he did talk about it.
