Don't make someone a priority who only makes you an option.
Wow. Just wow. As mortifying it is to admit, I once asked my xH if I was 'still in the running' when it came to his decision making. I am so glad to be past that. Your one signature line says it all.

I still miss having that one person here for me
I feel this way too. But I try to think of it this way: the husbands we 'had' are gone. We can do this alone. If your husband WAS there, he wouldn't be helping. He would be causing your more anxiety. He is 'as is' at the moment. But yes, I know what you mean, you miss "old" husband.
