You got it! Glad that your roller coaster is slowing down. Keep working on yourself, you will notice the more you are able to control your reactions/conversation, the more he will open and start to change (sometimes it's very subtile and don't expect the full remorses/regrets more probably you won't get it, it will be more about his "acts of kindness" toward you because he cares (at first it will be probably more to show some affection, don't expect any love talks and don't initiate any, my big mistakes, it set up back the progress), he will still remain very touchy for months, but the touchiness will go down (from every day to a few times a week to just once a week...), you are in for a very long journey. No rush. Enjoy your kids. Enjoy your friends. Invest in your job.
It's so important to cool off the situation, nothing can be done when the emotions are high. MLCers need space, time and a quiet surrounding, they are so conflicted inside their mind (ambivalent), they are very touchy so anything can make them react. Keep looking good, I was always also making sure my hair and my make up were done nicely nothing excessive (natural chic), Exercising is excellent, it produces endorphins in your system. It kept me going through that journey and kept me in shape. Bye going to drive my youngest to her private lesson and enjoy some girlfriends talks...
