I am printing your post out and taping it to my forehead!
I see this as the perfect scenario for my W and I to get back together.
Applause, Applause, Applause !!
You have seen, and then lessened that fear of rejection the WA hubby must have been feeling. To present a way for him to come closer as a third, non-threatening way was just brilliant.
Creating that zone of safety and support for H is so important. And you are doing it beautifully!!
