I have really appreciated the quotes you have brought forth as we need it. They have helped me a lot, so...thank you.
I'm on an overnight road trip to my sister's house to pick up S13 to bring him back home. It's good for my H to have a night at home without ME for a change! Lol!

I'm guessing that they get to a point where they think, "What have I done? What was I thinking? How do I clean up this mess? Can I clean up this mess?"
Cogitating on this ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
I don't think my H has thought this, although he didn't have an A, that I am aware of. This kind of thinking includes the LBS. I really don't see my H thinking specifically about making my life easier. It just is that way b/c he is making moves to come back home.
I'm not in his head, but I did hear him murmur, on Christmas Day, "I have a W, a home, kids to come back to."
I really don't think he thought of us first. Still himself.
I saw that this weekend when we did some fun stuff with another couple (will post on my thread) that the other men introduced their W's right away and half the time H still forgot I was there.
So....I wouldn't hold out for the "great apology" or "cleaning up this mess" theory. Just don't think in general it'll happen. At least not for a long while. Just my thoughts.
But I love reading you sitch and the little reconnections. Choosing to stay at home all weekend! Yay!
