Hang in there, girl! NC means NC -- he needs to understand that. Your H appears to now be orbiting away from the "line of reconciliation", just as you were trying to move towards it.
So, I guess the standard course for you would be to ease back as well, though actions as well as words. I guess that's why they say the clock gets set back to 00:00 everytime they break the NC.
(But then WTH do I know. I am feeling like the remedial student trying to advise the valedictorian about academics.)
