Ali, I think this is how it has to be. You are ready for a R with him. There's no way he can possibly be ready for the same kind of R with you. His still getting over Helen. He's porbably trying to figure out why he left you two years ago. Wondering if it would happen again. Not wanting to hurt either one of you again. Let him go slow, encourage him to go slow. Once he sees that you are there, and are not going to run and hide, he will realize that he can get comfortatble with himself before he launches into a full R with you. I think it has to happen that way, to get a good result.
