You did great!!! You stuck to what HE is imposing, not fighting him, just following the rules. You are forcing him out there.
Here's the thing, cuz I used to worry about pushing my H away...aren't they really already 'away'?? I mean, really, they are so far gone that its time for us to realize that only *they* will realize they want to come back, nothing we say or do. You are being cordial, flexible and emotionless around him, that's all you can do for now.
