Thanks MrB. Does it mean that he might be regretting filing for the D and listening to his family and lawyer that probably pushed him to do it? My H doesn't have OW it is his family that is the problem. My lawyer even is trying to push me into the D.

Is that what you meant by re-evaluating if what he is doing (with me) is the "right" thing to do?

What Mr. Bond said.

And I would encourage you to stop trying to figure out what he is thinking.

Drew, I know I need to stop trying to figure out what he is thinking it is just so darn hard.

I don't get what Mr. Bond said though.......re-evaluating if what he is doing (with me) is the "right" thing to do.

Mr. Bond is outlining what MIGHT be going through your H's head, but again, the only one who knows for sure, might not know for sure.

Outlining if he is making a mistake by pushing the D or the opposite? Sry......I'm confused.

Thanks Drew

Drew has it right. Quite frankly you don't know what your H is thinking, so don't bother. It's all part of detachment. It's the reason why even couples who reconcile go through a period of "false" reconciliations. The WAS starts thinking that they want to stay one minute, then they start panicking again and leave again. Anticipate this happening. It makes it easier to accept when it does happen.

He's re-evaluating everything just as you have been doing. He's deciding what is the "right" decision for him, same as you. If you start agreeing with having him out of your life, then he'll start wondering why.

But as was mentioned before. Control your own actions and thoughts because you can't control or assume to know what his are. What is going to be your next plan of action?

In theory perhaps... but no one knows this for sure. You can spin in circles trying to read into every little detail of every interaction and get NOWHERE.

The quote above, is a bit contradictory to what you have below.

I like this ^^ much better. No one but your H really knows what's going on in his head and FTR, even he's probably having a helluva time trying to figure it out.
