Keep in mind this: Believe nothing they say and only half of what they do. He’s going to make you the bad guy every chance he gets. If you are the bad guy, then no one will blame him for leaving you.
This distresses me a bit. He's maintained all along that he still loves me but thinks he might be happier alone. He says I don't trust him and he's not sure he can live with that. But he also said losing me would be like cutting out his heart with a butter knife. If I can't believe ANY of that, then I have no hope.
As far as actions go, he hasn't really taken any. He has searched for apartments online, but as far as I know, he hasn't actually contacted a leasing office or looked at anything in person. Of course, he may have and I just don't know about it. He is supposed to be looking for a new job (part of the unhappiness thing--burned out at current job), but I can't tell he's doing that either. About the only step he has actually taken in that direction, is getting a passport so he can apply for civilian contractor jobs overseas (he thinks the time and distance would do us good). I don't think he has actually applied for anything or sent in a resume though.
