i think if you are in mc and he is willing then he understands, a strong marriage will be worked on by both, do not judge his lack of attempt or trying because you cannot see immediate change. i believe he is just trying in his way to cope, i do not think he wants the woman back that did things to make others happy. i would guarantee he likes the stronger doodi. i also would bet he gets it, he just hasnt been able to show it because you still have your reservations. once you see you are ready to rock and roll and move this marriage to the next level, he will be on board for sure.
