Val,
Great to hear from you!!! Yes, a rollercoaster it is. If you recall, my H did all that back and forth cr@p, too. When I first came to this board (back then my user name was aid), I gravitated to both yours and YRs threads becuase I was going through much of the same stuff.

How long we've come. You sound wonderful. Your H is making good, positive changes in his life. And if there's ever a chance for you two again, this is the only way to get there. In the past, he's tried to come back to you without making any real changes. Now, he's not "coming back to you" per se, but he is making real changes in his life, which will ultimately lead him to a healthier place. THen, maybe when he's there, you can build something more than just friendship. But for now, your approach is perfect. Phone friends only. You go girl!
