To be honest with you I don't think anything has changed other then they you may have been secretly getting your hopes up that he may be having second thoughts.
The truth of the matter is that from all my time here and things I read is that they have go through the process to see for themselves that what they are looking for is just a fantasy. For them to stay out of loyalty, for the kids, religion etc they will always have the fantasy in the back of their minds. Time and space is the only way these things turn around long-term.
The sad part is that by the time the WW says "holy $hit" what did I do, it is usually too late because the LBS moved on with or w/o someone else.
I think getting away for the weekend is a great idea. Don't tell him where you are going.
