This just cements in my mind that if you back off and give him the space he needs to heal, that your marriage can be saved.
Pam, it took my husband over a year to get to this point!! I am sure that if I had backed off more and given him the space he needed, it wouldn't have taken a year for him to come back to me. He teetered on the edge between loving me and wanting a care free life for months!
Well, I have no regrets for the path I took. Perhaps I needed that year.
But if I can help you shave some time off your separation, I shall!
Keep up your hard work! Remember, by being quiet and listening to him, and giving him his space, you are speaking his love language!
Don't worry if it takes him some time, you are doing great!
