Things sound good, but my biggest issue is ...

Is he making baby steps or is he just trying to placate me because he needs me in the business to help him "make money?"

I just don't know how to tell the difference ... if he is being sincere in his actions or if he is being manipulative.

I know he needs me to achieve his financial goals.

How do I tell if he "comes home" because he truly loves me or if he just needs me in business?
