To the brink of Divorce

[ACJ]

Just a quick question for you. Before your H came home did he ever apologise out of the blue for all he was putting you through?
Here's why I ask. Today H came round unexpectedly in the middle of the afternoon. He came to collect yet more tools ready for his move into his new flat tomorrow. He spent an age emptying and refilling the box he keeps screws in. I did my best not to hang around whilst he was doing this and just kept on doing things for myself. Before he left he asked to borrow a case to put his clothes in (he only just recently brought it back after he left 5.5 months ago!). I got it out for him but whilst I was doing so a few tears fell. I know he saw me wipe these away from my face when I came back downstairs. A few minutes later he left, he gave me the usual peck on the cheek and then out of the blue said 'I'm sorry sweetheart!'. He hasn't said sorry since he told me at new year he definately wasn't coming home and he hasn't called me sweetheart since the day he left. I did backslide last night and sent him a TM saying 'It doesn't matter if you ignore me. I have and will continue to forgive all the hurt you have caused. I choose to love you and nothing you do will change that.' He didn't respond at the time but now I'm wondering if this might have sparked the I'm sorry.
I hugged him and said 'I hope you never have to feel like I do now b/c i wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy' he then said I'm sorry again. got in his car and drove off without a look back. On my main thread others have said this is a positive but I'm not so sure.
