I am so sorry to read your news, but I'm so glad to hear the strength and determination in your posts. You realize what a wonderful woman you are and finding your self worth will be a gift that no one can take from you. You will flourish in all things you do because of the absolute gem of a person you are. If your emotionally stunted,f*cktard of a DAH can't see that...then my description is more than accurate. FWIW, if he is more worried about how it looked that you took him aside and told him how he made you feel, than how he made you feel then he is the one with the problem. I have always held out the hope that your H would not continue to let his pride ruin your R, but for now that seems to be the case. Maybe the next couple of months will bring some clarity and good for you on the stopping his advances and laying it on the line. Boundaries are good and you seem to be doing well at setting them.
I would go and have a consultation with an attorney just to do the same thing I did. Find out what you can/should expect according to the laws of Cali. If this is to be a business transaction, then treat it as such and arm yourself with the information that you need to make the best decisions for yourself.
Love you R...anything you need, I'm here for you.
