Hey Maria, Timelines can also be a huge burden. Be cautious in paying attention to the date set forth. You will decide then where you are at and if you focus on it to much it will burn you.
I am curious about something though as I read along here. What efforts are you making right now for the physical connection? Do you reach for his hand? Do you hug him? Do you initiate a kiss? I understand he has to earn back your trust, I get that, but if you are really wanting to make efforts don't you sort of have to put yourself out there as well. Seems to me it's not much incentive for him if he doesn't get any drawn attention from you.
Seems to me that while you are saying on one hand that you want this to get better and that you want to see progress, are you doing everything you can to help that progress or are you just so convinced at this point that he cant change that you have given up so to speak?
100% effort in these situations means having to let go of your expectations and what you think will happen and instead focus on what you can control in the situation.If you are constantly hanging on to the thought that it is not going to work or that he is not going to change, then your behaviors may just be the exact thing that insures that your self fulfilling prophecy comes to fruition.
You are either in or your out, otherwise it is simply torturing yourself.
