I feel that "where's mine" all the time! It is sooo human...
My h has said more than once that his head tells him he should stay here but his heart is undecided....well I would like to have the heart part too, thankyouverymuch. I think that is what you mean too? You don't want him to 'honor his commitment' by staying, you want him to stay b/c he wants YOU, right?
Glad you replied to his message and didn't leave him thinking you were walking out the door. I know one thing I did a lot when H was still living here was to do the temperature check thing way too often and get emotional when he wasn't where I wanted him to be. He got really tired of that really fast....Glad you can see that and stop the pattern.
