Question: 

My spouse keeps reaching out to me and asking to chat with me while he has not completely ended his relationship with his affair partner. He has been ambivalent for 18 months. We are separated, so now he shows up at the gym when he knows I will be there and asks to talk to me after the gym. He's done this four times now. Each time he opens up and seems to be trying to reconnect with me. Should I be entertaining him when he asks to speak to me or should I stand on not speaking to him until he commits to recovery work and ends his affair? How do I create a safe boundary for myself while showing him grace and not reject his desire to open up to me and reconnect?
