So Puppy are you suggesting that I should tell him that I cannot continue in this manner with the hope that he eventually realises that he really belongs here with us?
I think that's best decided by you. Can you continue in this manner in the hopes that he may eventually realize at sometime that he belongs with you? I've been going through this for about 1.5 years I have to say no when I ask myself that question, but everybody reaches that decision point at different times.

I guess my only fear is that it has taken all this time to develop a 'friendship' and my moving aside could close down all possibilities if he feels I am pressuring him. Does that make sense?
Totally. I used to base most, maybe all my decisions out of fear. I think that's probably the worst reason/way to make decisions. I think you should try to make that decision and not focus on what may or may not happen, but on what you need to do that is best for you and your family.
