Re his glasses: does he have a spare set, or prescription sunglasses?
As for hope, it is GREAT to have hope. You are not giving up, you are setting boundaries. You are DBing still. You are detaching, but detaching means letting go of expectations, not letting go of hope. Do not be afraid to hope for the future, just be careful not to expect him to call or come by or do things for you.
This S will probably be a good thing. When a M/R gets to this point, S sometimes is the only chance. It was hard for me to accept that, but looking back over the last 10 months, I KNOW its true, and it's worked in my favor. I hope your S will do the same thing.
