Maybell - apparently I fell asleep while posting on your thread last night, and now everything's moved on - sorry about that!

I think what KGirl has said about looking at the test is good advice. It's a nice sentiment, and good that he's voicing something positive about you, but try not to read too much into it. It's definitely not a bad thing, but seeing it as neutral is probably the best approach for you.

As for the question of H. dating, I can certainly understand focusing on the upside as the best of the options available. Another important thing would be how he frames the dating if he tried to reconcile. There's a difference between "no one else would have me, so here I am" and "I've made an awful mistake - no one holds a candle to you, oh what a fool am I, please take me back and I will atone until the end of days". Unfortunately, I have no idea how you'd verify his true feelings about where dating got him if it actually happened, but that's probably a case by case thing, and you probably know him well enough to figure some of that out.
