There was so much in that post and conversation with your H. He is asking you for time.

I take this to say dont force me into a decision right now. If you were to force him I think the decision would be to get it over with as he is in pain and it could be the perceived quick way out. Stick with what you are doing and do not preasure your H , You know this so dont know why I am writing it down
