At least he is asking. Believe me, he is angry right now. My H was so awfully cruel and mean to me and blamed me for him leaving. They do this to justify their behavior. It is easier for them when they "hate" you. That's why it's important to stay strong, upbeat, cordial. I did everything wrong in the beginning but I was in shock. My H has been out for almost 4 months and we have made no progress as far as communication goes. We have been intimate which I would hope would open him up but he says he is confused and doesn't know what he wants. I personally have made a mental note though that 6 months is my end.
