fb2, I was assertive when he asked back. I asked if he really wanted/was prepared to work with me to "fix" things and he said yes. Does he sound like is? I dont want him back in the house. I still feel him as a stranger. I would need some kind of small porgress before we would do such a move. Right now I am thinking I will move the OTHER way, away from him... I think the time we will spend together these next days will show me how to proceed. K
