Just wanted to pop in and see how you are doing. It looks like you have a new strategy and it looks good to me. I think that the next 6 weeks are going to be tough but it does help to try and stay positive like you mentioned. I think a lot can happen between now and the time you go back home. I also wonder how much of his contacting you is really for his sake and not for yours as he claims. He might be using your perceived needs to cover for the fact that he just misses you and wants to talk to you. I find it especially interesting that he shares details about his daily life with you. My hubby doesn't even do that!
So all in all you have a lot of hope and a lot of work. But you can do this!
