I can tell you from my own situation and from what I've read for long time vets, women tend to process things over time, need time, and can process with their S in the house. Men hate being in limbo, don't see the gift of time, want things to be resolved quickly, and the panic can sometime lead to the end of the R (or them moving out, etc.). Don't try to understand it, just accept with and detach. Each of you have to go things your own way and on your own time...that's the scary part! Just keep doing what you are doing, keep working on yourself, and follow everything DB you know!
You can do this...patience!
