I don't think he is looking for permission to leave. He came back. He got nervous when you talked about meeting with the lawyer. Maybe you are right, he came back too soon. Or maybe there is just still work to be done, and it would have needed to be done no matter how soon he came back. He is going to C. Will you be going together? Maybe then he will be willing to work on those issues. I hope so. You have come so far.
You know he is not a crazy romantic. But you probably fell in love with him for his qualities - you know, the same ones that drive you crazy now!
Sorry you are feeling so sad and discouraged. To think your sit. is what I am striving to reach!
Sweet dreams, LL. I hope things look brighter tomorrow.
