It's important to not deny your emotions when going through this. That is a bit ahhh...MLCish. I agree, you don't want him this way, but if this is the way to a whole, healthy husband and father then perhaps it may be worth it to ride this out.
Only you can answer that. I'm not saying you should stop doing what your doing. Just continue to watch his actions. My ex was remorseful too. I made the mistake of jumping all over that on a few different occasions.
