bm, welcome. I don't understand why H won't leave the rest of the way. BeingMe, H said the dog likes it here. That was his only answer to my question if he was taking the dog. H can't even say yes or no to that. During our convo H always derails the talk and brings up whatever else he can think of to avoid giving answers. I was more determined and kept going back to the questions and we did cover a variety of topics without ever solving anything. That's our normal SOP.
H came home in the evening like nothing ever was discussed. I had made some supper, and had just popped a cheese curd in my mouth when H looked and said 'you didn't just eat one of those!!' I said yeah as I was chewing. He said he was going to eat some the other day but they were moldy. I asked then why did you put them back in the refridgerator instead of throwing them away?! He threw them out then after showing me mold on a few of them.
This morning I asked H for a hug and we hugged. I told him I wanted it to be part of our routine and didn't want him acting like pouty 10 year old that had to hug his grandma without her teeth.
I can make a pile of the things that H has left in the house. I am thinking to also give him 2 phone numbers. One for a L and one for Retrouville, it's his choice which one to call but an appointment has to be made.
The other night we had surprise overnight guests. H slept in our bed with me. It was just like old times, we slept close and touched all night long. The night before that I had sent H a sizzling email about the collection calls I have been getting for him and we needed to fix those problems. I was giving him one more chance to talk with me about it before I went in search of my own answers. That's why I initiated a talk yesterday, to follow up on my email. H would rather walk than talk. Then he should be making tracks. I'm probably still not making any of this sensible to follow as it's pretty disjointed.
