Sounds to me like a little of a positive sign that you need to understand but not react to. It is good that he did not want the divorce even after the HUGE fight. He wants to take it slow, which is good as well IMHO. I am just a little past this point although she has not said it like your H has. So take what you have, a start. He wants to take it slow, so take it slow. I was impatient like you and felt like we needed to move forward or apart. I am starting to develop patience and realize that the problems will not heal fast, even though when it starts to feel good and things seem a little better, the tendency is to hit the gas. DO NOT DO THAT!!! I did and it set us back. Now W thinks if she gives little signs that I will try to take more. So be careful. Enjoy what he is willing to give. If you find yourself overanalyzing, find something to do to get your mind off of the R and it will be easier. Like everybody says on here, go with what works. It will take a long time to recover. I am trying to pound this in my own head. Keep venting here as a release. We will be here. ((((HUGS))))
