That does sound like he's done some 180s there. I'm not sure that men in general are very good at sharing with us what they see when looking inside...

That sounds like an excellent idea to avoid dumping resentments on each other, that just keeps you both stuck in a negative cycle. Every time my H gives me the whole R talk it annoys me so much that he bangs on about the past, there is no way you can build a better future if you're clinging onto resentments. I now feel that there were certain things my H did in our marriage which were completely unacceptable (I was just remembering one this morning actually, when I found out I was pregnant with ds1 I made a special meal and chilled some champagne ready for him to come home from a golf game. When he came back he was annoyed, refused to drink the champagne, said he didn't like the meal and was generally not as happy as an expectant father should be at the news!!), but I'm prepared to put those unacceptable behaviours in the past if we can both change. I'm sure some of my behaviours were unacceptable too, but again my H has to be able to forgive me like I forgive him.

Do you have any particularly form of MC in mind? I know some are more solution oriented than others.
