It's going to be a bumpy ride

PS: dont wait until he's "been out for a while".
your boundaries should be in place the MINUTE he is moved out.
NO SEX, NO NOTHING, until your strong for-you boundaries are in place, and understood, and respected.

"get your bearings" now. have a plan. be ready for it. use it.
you dont need to wait until he is out, to "start reflecting". You're doing that right now.

If he wants to treat you with respect, then welcome him.
If not, then leave him alone.


PS: usualy, the last thing men want to do is "work on the relationship". that statement will probably be relationship poison. i'd suggest not using it
