may, I am so happy for you that you two are so open with each other. The little parts that your H was honest about still having to work through those thoughts himself first - it is a huge step for him to tell you that and for you to give him that time.

I would say just keep doing what you're doing. action over words. or action along with words. continue to encourage him to have his own personal time and show him that you are truly okay with it.

M is a long journey in itself, the work will probably continue on forever. you guys are doing great!
