Point taken, when my W was in the middle of her #2 A she said she was scared to be around me but there again I did not know and she was hiding it from Everyone. And yes whe would have cringed if I had touched her. Would it not be a 180 to not neccessarily pursue but act-as-if everything was normal between them (meaning, no A, no marital problems, etc.)? I think he can try a couple of things, test the water so to speak w/o compromising his position. If she recoils pull back if not see where it leads....again what does he have to lose. If it is a setback it can't be any worse than having a meltdown R talk that ends in a huge argument.
BTW I have updated my thread under mixed signals in my signature, definitely in a holding pattern for today and tomorrow, kids tonight, FOOTBALL tomorrow. serious guy time tomorrow with the fella's in the hood.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
