Well, after thinking about it and calming down....

I think it's:

1) he's a procrastinator and just hoped you wouldn't "notice" and it would all just fall into place

2) he was afraid of how you would react...

3) he'd love to continue on with living apart, but spending most of his free time with me for as long as he can until I won't put up with it any more

Anyway, it's at least a relief to know that I'm not the only one who does such weird passive agressive stuff. And that God I can come here and talk it out instead of stewing in it until I feel like I could just strangle the dude!

I'll try to bring up the subject in a gentle way this weekend to see if there are any other fears he has about coming home that he hasn't told me about.

Anyway....
