IMO, as his Mother's death nears you will see a variety of emotions in XH. This happened here 6.5 years ago when we found out my H's Mother had 3 months to live.
Frankly it took a huge toll on us all and was a huge factor in the demise of our marriage so when I say he will experience many emotions I am very serious. I wish I had been more supportive, you can learn from me in this way. It's a case of "If I only knew then what I know now"...well things would be very different.
You have an advantage with XH already, he stated to you that you have always supported and stood by him. Give him the GAG he needs and fill the void he apparently has.
It is wonderful that he accepted your invite to dinner after TT tonight!!!!!!
I wish you a splendid evening with Mr. GAG, will be looking for the update.
