ADB - I can see that you took a stronger stance in your sitch. He knew he couldnt push you around. You were detached and ready to move on and your H new that. That is why he came back because he had NO CONTROL over you. Once those strings are cut is when they start feeling the lose.
That is the attitude we all have been trying to get C to have. Instead, she still has him right where she wants him. Once he cuts those strings she will more then likely start pursuing him. That is why I said he should take the job. She probably thinks he is bluffing at this point. Her wake up call is coming. She wants her freedom well she is going to get it.
