Gigi... don’t read too much into it. He feels guilty. He knows that leaving his wife and kids is not a good thing to do. So he’s trying to soften the blow and alleviate some of his guilt. Shows that he is a decent person...but he is still a decent person who wants to leave. He feels like he has no other choice at this point. That could change over time but I would not look for signs that it is at this stage of the game. It will only get your hopes up and set you up for more BD’s in the future. Accept that this is where he is at and take the focus off of him. Do not try to figure out what and why he is doing what he is doing (you’ll probably be wrong anyways) and put your attention fully on you and your kids. The more you can do that, the better off your will be in the end. (((HUGS)))
