Oldtimers: Return or not..what finally happened?

[forward]

"I do think that you should prepare yourself for the fact that it might not happen."

Yup, I'm well aware. I even accept that it seems that it could be "probably will not happen," given H's lack of interest. He doesn't look happy but he makes few if any moves towards me. I can't do anything about that. I've tried to be kind while holding clear boundaries.

And so I am livin' my life. I'm in a much better place than I was when I came here.

I don't want to sound as if I am all pollyanna. If I had to generalize, it seems as if most of the time the WAS does express regret and remorse at some point--years later, even--but getting further along than that seems to be difficult. Not impossible, but certainly difficult.
