Cinders, I'm glad you recognize the situation for what it is. For all you know, he could be in mlc himself....39 and acting like a teenager in the tming department? Sounds like he wants to be the one to rescue you!
Next week will be here soon enough. Hopefully he will go and find some other avenue of interest!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
