First G, re the dating and it being scary. Oh yeah, tell me about it! Can't even FATHOM it.
Okay, to the conversation (wasn't this meant to be on email? what did I miss. anyway, doesn't matter!)
The energy thing; big factor with my WH too. Said he "was too tired" to do the right thing. WH is telling you something here. He can't do it NOW.
If he wants to raise her together, then I think this is a good thing..not an EASY thing, a good thing, for bubs.
Your WH needs to continue his therapy and introspection into why he keeps making unhappy choices for himself..it's his journey..don't help him.

I told him the story about Jason Alexander. I said this week, though, I was REALLY not into making anything work. (I stopped short of saying that it was fully 100% over.) That it would be therapy and friends, or no therapy and no friends.
He said that he was going to try to let me go.
I don't know why he really wants to tell me these things. I guess I already said that he is using my friendship... but I guess what I learned today is that I'd still go to therapy with him. But we are so not there.
I guess I'm thinking about being friends with him a little longer. Because as I said to him when he left, if we do nothing right now, we are deciding to divorce. We will drift farther apart. He said he knew.
Yep, be friends. Try to have nice times. Nothing more, nothing less. Be good parents to bub.
What you learned today is that you are not done with him, but piecing this back together is going to take time.
He needs to sort himself out, in his own time.
You need to keep being the best you possible, and hopefully bit by bit you two will end up back together... that is, if you haven't moved on.
No point trying to "figure" WH out..he doesn't know what's wrong with himself either...
Just keep the focus on having a great life for yourself and bubs for now.
TIME.
