Bananas I can't answer your ?? on trust, as my W is killing mine everyday. I am sure people here will be able to do so.
I am very happy for you that things are on track and progressing. You are wise to take it slow. I too have been sending my love to W with my eye contact. Trouble is, she looks back into mine and says "what???"
I hope you can find a way to discuss the trust issue with him gently. It would be a shame to let resentment build due to your misgivings, if a timely discussion could help.
