have you read either dr dobson's book Love Must be Tough or dr donald harley's book When the One You Love Wants to leave?

both of those books will help you to put a little distance between him & you in a loving way so that your husband doesn't feel like he's able to string you along as he testing the dating waters while stringing you along as the just in case i don't catch anything

right now your husband has the milk so why does he need to buy the cow again? his pride is definately in the way & part of that is your doing since you're not making it more of a necessity to make more of a commitment to you the consideration that you might not always be there as backup hasn't hit him
