Welcoming? If he went on a limb to say he loves you, why not return the favour? Not chasing him down, but reaching down to his core. I would love my wife to send me choc/card recognizing my work. Even if we D, I'd have one of those memories to keep. How would your H react or respond?

A counselor might make things worse, but it is a great option. Can he afford/would he accept for you to suggest a Divorce Busting coach?
