"But at least he is starting to realize that committment has many meanings, and one of it is making sure that your family is protected and safe....He was then shocked, and blurted out "what if I can't live without you?"

That's an amazing thing to hear. Were you moved by that at all?"

I can't say moved .... but I was happy to hear it yet expecting it at the same time.
It confirmed to me that H was confused.
It also confirmed to me that at that point I had made the right move, that I had made him think about what he might miss.

I simply answered him at that point that if even if we were D'd, if that were the case, we could always just get married again. He considered that, and smiled, and said "yes, you are right".
