Not meaning to throw a log on the fire. It is just something that I have noticed with my H sometimes - whatever sorrow and remorse he feels about how his actions or inactions have affected me doesn't necessarily translate into different choices or behavior on his part. So lately I have been musing as to whether it is sorrow and remorse or something akin to what my daughter feels - upset because I am angry. Again, I'm just hoping that Mr. Gel is ready to make the right connections. I'm glad that he is showing signs that he does understand your hurt.
