I didn't realize that he was going to counseling. I must have missed that somewhere along the way. That is a good thing that he is open to that though.
I hope he gets the guest house. I am like you, I would feel better with him living there than with his friend.

He's still not outwardly giving me any hope, but things that he has said lately like being willing to delay the filing, admitting that he won't know for sure until the separation etc, are baby steps I feel like.
I think they are baby steps too. That is different than his attitude in the beginning.
Ok, I don't think ML with him was a big oops....you may have made more of a statement if you had turned him down...but I know that is easier said than done. If I am remembering correctly you initiated the other times....so this is new? It could have a different result. When this happened during good times would you have turned him down? It is a 180 for you to ML with him when he initiates?
I would refrain from being a "booty call" unless you see that it is making progress. Sex can trigger emotions. You have to be careful to take your emotions out of it though. If you see no changes for the better after ML, then you should stop it.
I am seeing some progress in your sitch. Hang in there.
