His actions do show that he is truly committed to working on things. He has arranged the individual counseling for himself on his own and goes once a week. He has realized that we need to work on the counseling to work through this and he has made the MC appt. He is also planning dates for us. Also, he has pinpointed areas he feels we need to work on.

Another thing that feels different is that when I bring up a subject to him he seems more receptive, whereas in the past he would often dismiss the ideas. He seems to be showing more compassion and empathy. He has apologized for little wrong doings here and there where before he would just retreat.

Yesterday he told me that he is 100% committed to working on things, and I believe him. He said that last time we were in counseling (in the spring) that he wasn't 100% committed (I also believe him, I don't think his heart was in it at that time).

But it does feel like his heart is in trying. To him working on the marriage means doing the counseling and addressing our issues together. Getting past the resentments we feel. Working to have a stronger marriage than we have ever had.
