I'm so glad you got some good rest, you needed it I'm sure.
I'm with you though, remain cautious about this sudden clarity your H is having. In some ways I agree with BF, this could be an attempt to regain control of the R. However, it could be that something pivotal actually did happen to make him see things clearer....even so, I'm really glad to see that you made continuing counseling a MUST, it needs to be a must.
As you've said he's now done this to you twice, if his sudden clarity is a ploy...that will come to light fairly quickly. If it's not, then there are still things that both of you need to work on in counseling....so regardless it was a wise move to insist upon it.
