FA,
I think I kind of agree with what Creed has said above.

Another way to think about creeds comments would be to look at the new post by IMP at the top of the board.

Identify what patterns work and what needs to be changed. If your H knows he can keep you hanging on by a thread by ML to you, then maybe it is time to hold out on him and see what happens next.

Maybe you allready have tried this, but it is just a suggestion. Plus, then your H will probably start wondering who your seeing or getting your needs met through (even though there is no other). Not to mention it may spare you some emotional torture.
