I don't think my husband is like yours. But I have not engaged and I'm at a point where I cannot even look at him anymore. Life is easier. I get annoyed and yes doubtful of my own perception when I see husband friendly and amicable with me and others. I just stay disengaged. Its also hurtful and causes self doubt when I know that he views me as some sort of abuser or who knows what else. I myself have delayed the legal process because I'm anxious over conflict. But I think your patience and resilience will. E in your favor.
