There is a book Labug recommended to me frequently that I picked up and started a couple of weeks ago. It's on one of the reading lists in MLC (I think) and is very helpful. I don't want to mention it by name because I don't want to go back on moderation but it talks about fear in women and shame in men. It has really helped me understand things more clearly and may give you some helpful tools as well.
I can hear how frustrated you are and I feel for you. It's like someone who needs to hang a picture with a nail and a screwdriver.
I think there's a lot of hope for you guys. You just both need better tools. And he maybe needs more time. After all, he said he came back because of his own doubts, right, not because of your changes? So maybe he doesn't yet believe in your changes?
I'll keep you in my prayers, T.
