While you were making excuses for his absence, he was setting up a love bomb and it went off. When is he going to pick a fight, call you crazy, talk behind your back to his coworker, not support you? Love bombs don't last forever, and by design are supposed to make you doubt what you know. He's trying to look as much like a sheep as a wolf can to distract you because he knows it works.

Exactly. He is love bombing me like crazy. And it’s hard not to fall for it, but I more so see it as an act of manipulation, which trumps truly falling for it.
Of course he will pick another fight with me at some future date. And of course he will find a way to demean me again. And I do not trust that he won’t step out of the marriage again. I do not and cannot trust him. Too many promises have been broken and his words are now meaningless. His promises are empty promises. And yes he’s now disguising himself as the sheep. What a manipulative - a-hole.
