Perpetual lurker, de-lurking here for a moment....I rarely post on this forum, but I have been following your sitch from the beginning.
I've been silently cheering you on, wishing you continued "mojolation", and observing the changes, the apparent thawing of your H. But a nagging thought keeps crossing my mind about him, so I will just throw it out there.....
Do you think there is any chance that his present, continued intimacy avoidance could be due to ED? Maybe he is suffering from failure to launch and continues to keep you at arms distance because of it. Some men will go to great lengths in "covering" for their shame over the perceived failure of their "manhood".
Anyhoo, it is just an idea from someone on the outside looking in who has dealt with the issue, but certainly not all of the other MLC'er issues you've had. Even if you think it might be relevant, I don't think you should change your plan and present direction for YOU, as it would still be his issue to work out.
Congrats on all your recent career sucesses ((high 5 MB)) and WAY TO GO...on showing that yoga class a thing or two !!
