You need to be there for him for that journey. It sounds like a lack of communication is going on between you two. If you reject him, then you two are headed for a divorce. If you open up to him and take it slow then you can save the relationship.

You're probably right. I can relate to the rejection part because I felt rejected for 3 years. I know where that can take you - not a good place at all.
He says he doesn't have a clue as to why he had ED & now he doesn't. He says the awkwardness I feel now is my own overthinking things.
I guess part of my issue now is what if his ED returns if I agree to try to rekindle what we've lost? No pressure, right?
I need to tell that voice in my head to be quiet for awhile, I guess.
