I think we are in a rut

[MichelleLT]

I am glad that you had a good weekend and enjoyed your time with the in-laws.

Do you have your plan for how to approach H at the end of the week to verify if it has been paid? Maybe even assume it's been paid and say "thanks for paying the car insurance by today" and watch his reaction.

As for moving, I think it was fairly obvious he moved with the intention of being close to you. I think that he didn't realize how stressful moving and finding new jobs would be and it caught him all by surprise. He is probably also having second thoughts as he may have assumed that you guys would just move back in together and everything would be fine. Who knows what goes through their heads sometimes, it's pure speculation.

Be careful about assuming that he is not working on the M in his own way - you have pointed out yourself that he does not have a lot to offer right now, so perhaps time is the best medicine at the moment.

Have a great week!
