Thanks both. Your warnings echo a lot of what I am feeling and thinking about myself. Day to day I am fine. I certainly don't feel under any pressure from him to move things forward.

There are differences. Him seeking IC and help from his doctor are new things and as far as I know he is following through with that. He's also taking responsibility and has dropped the blame. It is possible it is just an act to get what he wants - I can accept that. I also know it is very early days and people can pretend to be more or less anything for a short amount of time. I can accept that too.

I guess that sooner or later I will need to either trust his changes and move towards him a little bit with curiosity accepting that there will be some level of risk involved, or I will need to accept that I don't and can't ever trust him no matter what changes he makes or says he will make, and move forward based on that. At the moment I don't feel ready to make either of those decisions, and he seems to be accepting of that right now, and so I guess I need to accept it too.
