It sounds like your gamble paid off. I do think sometimes it's those bold moves that really cause the biggest shifts. In my own sitch I am sure it was sending the email to H telling him I couldn't stop him from moving out. I actually expected he would move out immediately, and was willing to take that chance even though it made me sick and broke my heart. Even thinking about it now causes me great pain. My point is you did something that could have caused your H to move in either direction. It sounds to me like he realized what he could be giving up if he moved closer to that girl. Everything that you've said now is so positive, the physical affection, the ML, the shower...
Best of luck at your picnic tonight. I think you have hit on some cheese...actually my guess now is that you know you are on the right path and your H can lead for awhile.
Please keep us posted!!!
