G struggles a lot with himself. Realizing how much he has destroyed, he lately retreats to XH again.
He will cycle as he searches and progresses towards healed. This is a good thing. Remember back when he didn’t vacillate? When he was absolutely sure of his view of the world and the assuredness of his actions? He is questioning his own self. He is rewriting/restoring/returning to truth, his rewritten narrative.

Interestingly, with or without professional help, G is the only one who can solve it.
If you were wanting to encourage G, I’d gently shift his mind from “try” to “can”. Instead of G trying, G is doing. Try vs can. Mindset is everything. And positive encouragement and reinforcement is very powerful.
Enjoy the meal with your parents. Glad you are doing well.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
