Thanks Dia and wifey. Appreciate your feedback. I never mention ow at all to H. I was interested in your perspective, Dia given the fact that you have had periods of nc prior to you moving back to H's house. I am just trying to consider all perspectives before I do anything or do nothing! I am certainly not trying to replicate your success as I am astutue enough to know all situations are different and certainly I do not have the same skills you have and nor do I have the opportunity as a housemate.

As for the couch...you've been patient for so long and I think your H speaks sense here. Go with it. Let it all unfold as it should.

Thanks,

Cas
