Al, I am glad things seem to be progressing in the right direction for you and your husband. He seems to be coming to some realizations about himself and his happiness.
Sounds alot like the work we do on ourselves doesn't it.
Your patience is extraordinary and you are right about what reconciliation may really look like. There may not be this cathartic apology and vows of undying love, but I do think there needs to be true remorse.
I am pretty sure it was Jack that said he would be leary of any reconciliation without true remorse.
In your situation, I know your H has expressed some remorse however he is still technically having an affair and until he completely ends it and expresses remorse about it I would be a little suspect.
You are doing great!!!
Cheers

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
