So I am new here. I think my H has been going through this for about 3 years, now that I look back. Back in March he dropped the first EB. We had a fight and he said he was done but still slept in the same bed. Needless to say, I asked him to go to counseling but he said what was the point as he was done. However, I still got a little emotional connection with him. Then on May 2, the second EB was dropped. This is where he spewed such hatred towards me and then moved out of the bedroom. I believe this is when he started full bore into Replay, however I think he was dabbling in it before this. He stayed in the other room and kept telling me every week or so that he was done and what did I want to do about our stuff. I told him I wasn't going to do anything as I wanted our marriage to work, but I left him alone in between and we didn't really speak except when it was about our daughter. It is during this time I realized he was having an EA with an OW. It has never been physical, as far as I can tell, but it sure was emotional. About 2 weeks after the 2nd EB, he came to me and wanted sex. My thought was/is that since he still is at home, I am commanded in God's word to give him his due.
So from May 2 to July 17, he was fully immersed in his Replay. My daughter and I went camping with my family the weekend of July 15 - 17, without him, obviously. When we came back on July 17, my H came up to me with tears in his eyes and told me he was sorry and that he knows it isn't just me (big of him, I know), that it is him too and he has some issues he is working through and to give him time to work through them. Of course, I said yes and for about 2 weeks, I could tell he was trying. He moved back into our bedroom. For the past 3+ weeks, I know he hasn't had any real contact with the OW. Then, about 2 weeks ago he started pulling back again and it looks like he has regressed. I was devastated as I didn't think he'd do that. After some more research, I do believe he had his "First Awakening" about a month ago. He went out with his single cousins last week and is now back in contact with the OW. He is acting very distant the past few days. Can this be because of guilt?
My question/confusion is whether this is still Replay or if he is now having to cycle through all the stages as he comes out of this.
Please Help!!
