Portia, Just ride the wave and keep your expectations at zero. He is still searching for the ultimate band-aid. Yes, he's expecting that you will always be there and that everything will revert back to normal and things will be swept under the carpet.
Your man needs to earn your trust and respect back. You should not allow him to come charging back into your life as if this never happened. I would continue giving him space, listen and validate, but do not begin making plans for the future. Keep those plans to the here and now and it's almost like starting over as just friends....not lovers or companions. Friendship is the base of all relationships and that's where you will need to begin.
Stay the course and allow him to figure things out for himself. He needs to grow up.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
