Well, in my sitch my xh said some of the same things. Partly, I now believe was to let me down easy & to not hurt me & to try & leave a door open. The WAS doesn't know what they want. The other part of me believes (with my xh anyway), that he could only see one road & that was D. To just stop, end it & not struggle through. And maybe start new, fresh someday. Granted he will struggle through issues with his job or some friends, but only if he feels he has to. We each have our own ways of dealing with difficult sitches & sometimes they don't agree. Make any sense???
Good to hear your dinner went well !!
