Hi Mishka!

That's quite a list of don'ts!

I think this is a good one. If he's already stayed for an event/occassion, don't ask him to stay for longer; you need to end interactions first when you can (but nicely). And I don;t think you would have looked pathetic inviting him, just nice, as you are. But maybe if/when you do decide to invite him to do something next time, have no expectations with it- that way it won't be so disappointing if he refuses (for whatever reason)

Mishka- I really don't think you're being or have been, a fool. Your H is not done with you, as far as I can tell from reading your posts. But I do think it's going to take a long time for him to get better- he has a long journey ahead of him and is going to send confusing signals. Noticing them is NOT foolish. It shows how loving and constant you are.

((((Mishka)))) I hope you're having a better day today.
