Wow - men seem so random/quick to us when they decide to go into mlc or maybe in your case...out of it! It's good news. It sounds like you need to switch to falling back in love mode...as well as building back trust with lots of small kind acts and words. It's great that you have been hugging him - is moving that up to really kissing him a possibility? Some studies and books I read claim that the best way to fall back in love is to start doing all the little nice things you'd do if you were in love with him (even if it feels uncomfortable at first.) Don't they call that on this board "Acting AsIF"?
