all in all I'd say your 180's are working, even if you take 2 steps forward and then one step backward. You're at least doing a 180'!! and you're setting boundaries one at a time, figuring them out as you go, like we all did.
As for the money issues, wow, that's so tough with the business partnership. What does the future hold on that issue if things don't work out as a couple? Will you be alright financially? You will need to start thinking about this b/c your kids will need that from you, no matter what your h says he'll do.
I'm NOT saying give up, I'm saying "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" and trust that the love you once had is still there, maybe hidden under your H's MLC or whatever...trust that it will resurface when he can take a breath and look at his life objectively. You are doing better than you realize. Way to go on going out with friends, being hot looking when he sees you and MINIMIZING painful contacts with h!! This is not about punishing him or "teaching him a lesson" it's about giving him the space he needs. j-
