In my opinion I guess he bounced back in a way but with different dynamics.
When he came home in February full time he actually tried his utmost to reconnect about a month later. (I read your tread already several times) He was much nicer, gave compliments, played games with the children, went for long walks with me and talked a lot more about work and interest in mine as well. He also said there was growing a connection with the house (new one, just before BD). He started his favorite sport again, which he never did anymore since MLC started.
This lasted about 2 months until he started to fall in a deep depression, drinking increased heavily etc. I then saw things at night which I never saw before. Huge panic attacks, screaming he left everybody behind, talking about how he is a failure to everybody, speaking about we'd be better of without him, in bed all day etc. But also sometimes the completed opposite. Angry, pat on his own head,... But he kept doing that sport about 2 times a week.
Contact with family and friends is indeed still very limited. He keeps contact with almost all of them as it is like he doesn't want to loose them, but he keeps it to the limit.
When he left for work to live in the other country he suddenly started doing sports on a daily basis, even a bit in a obsessive way in my opinion. Now he came home and I see a cold man towards family, the children and me, basically also a very selfish man....and yet again also trying to connect, very strange.
