he doesn't want to understand, which is another matter altogether. You see, men like your H and my stbx do not think 2 weeks into the future, he obviously doesn't see what can happen, he doesn't realize how much his life will be screwed up by staying with ow, he's just trying to live the present, trying to wing it by you and appease the ow (my stbx had string along ow for half a year, making her believed we were either S or D, there was no end to his plan, didn't want a D but didn't want to leave ow)

It does make sense to let him know what is going to happen, that in such such date you are paying the L to do this, let him know what is going on. Only a miracle would knock some sense into him this quick, I totally agree with the list puppy came up with.
I dont' remember reading that verse before, that is very powerful. You are in my prayers.
