Limbo, Step back and take a deep breath. It looks like you've been in this situation for almost a year. I'm sure you can hold out for another two weeks. It's really not that long. Focus on the kids for now. Stop with the R talks. Your H committed to going to Retro, so hold out for that weekend.

I felt that I had to push him because I think that we have to do something, we can't just sit in the limbo for ever, and especially when there are kids involved.
You're not in limbo forever. It sounds like you are making forward progress especially with the Retro weekend. Focus on making it the next two weeks with NO R talks.
