nicole - that was a very honest conversation you and H had, IMO. How I wish I was at that point in my sitch.
I think it was great H could share more about how he's feeling, and you were supportive and encouraging. Now I think you give him some space to process... of course you want him to come home, and it's hard to be patient. But you know you need to be super patient with him now... he's clear on what you want, and where you are emotionally. Now give him the time and space to process and think about how to proceed. Remember that you can't control him or his timeline. It's up to him. And really you wouldn't want him back before he's sure he's ready anyway, right?
So, keep taking care of yourself - plan some independent fun stuff this wk because you deserve it, and it'll help keep your mind off of what H is thinking & doing.
