I have not read the whole sitch, but this sounds like a nice step. I would not be too supportive and loving until he shows a consistent and demonstrated effort! Also OW should be out of the picture completely! All in all sounds like some progress is made. It is good to be optimistic, but be weary until you verify results. That is for you so you are not let down if he fails to deliver what is promised!
