More emails from ex talking about how difficult mother's day was for him due to his mother being gone now for 5 years.
He continues to communicate back and forth.

Trusting, I think the man needs someone to talk to who knows him and his past. Listen and validate (you know this already). He's bound to slip up and accidentally tell you what is on his mind. I suspect he's got some issues that he may need your assistance with at some point.
Hang in there.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Thanks Snodderly for the advice. He does seem to miss his mom so much. When she died, that was the beginning of his crisis.

More emails from ex regarding his mother. I am just validating and acting like his friend. I have to say I am quite shocked by all of this.

T just caught up with your thread. Apart from your last few posts about how your H has been communicating positively with you I think we are married to the same man
