GEL, needless to say, I'm watching your sitch with great interest...
I know you've analyzed this a lot, but if you had to pinpoint what switch flipped in your H's mind/heart/psyche/whatever to bring about this change, what do you think it would be?
Clearly your threat that "you wouldn't be having a second anniversary" scared him-- or motivated him-- into counseling, but he still hid out there.
Can you speculate on what mental/emotional process has occurred inside of him to make this huge change in his relationship to y'all's (yes that is a real word) sexual relationship?
