Wow--good work! You did all the right things and you definitely got his attention. The roses were a very nice touch, especially if he has had an investment in growing them in the past. Good thinking! He may be trying to create a clean slate for OW in terms of his emotional connections (geez, how are they so able to just cut things off so completely?) but--at least for a little while--you had his attention. If you end up traveling alone, be sure to have a few shots of you having a great time without him so that you can be showing him those along with the scenery and stuff.
As for my thread--lots of readers, very few posters besides you. So it may take awhile for others to respond! Go right ahead.
