I have been reading your thread and I can kinda relate. It sounds like he is scared of the committment. I know it is hard for you, but keep the faith. I am working on trying to get my wife back home. We are both committed, but realize it takes time. Things need to go slow....unfortunately.Have you both been to counseling? It does work. I am new to DB'ing and actually am just getting started. I am having a hard time taking it slow. W and I really connected this past weekend and really opened up like never before. She is scared of coming back. Scared things won't change and worried about what others think. It only matters what we feel and what is right for our family. I think your H is getting closer. Hang in there! It will happen. Just don't push. Here I am giving advice, but I am guilty of pushing things with my wife. I want her back and I can't stand waiting although I know if we don't fix the issues, it won't work. I think that maybe my W may end up taking her time like your H. I think they both need to get over their fears and do what is in their hearts. If you pray, then keep doing so. Faith does work. If you haven't tried it, then give it a shot. Good luck and keep writing. Give him time and he'll be back. Then you need to figure out how to keep him there. He needs to figure out his heart.
