I have read bits and pieces of your thread, but I need to go start to finish. I totally understand your fear of the dreaded friendzone. Especially without kids in the picture. I think I am always afraid that it would be easier for the WS to just walk away from a marriage and say "well, that relationship didn't work out, so I'm single again". Whereas with children, the WS is still very much attached to a family dynamic. I agree with May, he has this back and forth action and you seem to jump in too soon (I'm soooo guilty of that as well). I think that we get our hopes up too soon and place expectation on what we so desperately want in our relationship or reconciliation. Good job working through your anger and getting to a place where you are so much more in control of your emotions and reactions. He could very well be feeling more safe to open up with you. The last four words in your last post are the goal. "Just let it be". Keep your head up friend.
