I would use the money crisis as a reason to get together. Know that this is a huge stressor to man. A man wants to provide. If he sees you getting upset it will stress him more and if he is a laid back guy he won't say anything. So use the WOA to reaasure him and help develop a plan.

Sometimes when you lead you are modeling good behavior to him.
Validating, compassion, forgiveness, listening, LLs, partnership, personal growth etc. Make sense?

I wouldn't place deadlines on yourself - creates stress, pressure and expectations. Evaluate as you go. "Patience is the companion of wisdom." - St Augustine

You sound like you are doing alright. Let him come to you. Be irresistable to him.

Where are you in the UK? I have spent some time in the Cotswalds on different trips. I have been told I am "cheeky" and that I was "pissed as a newt." I have also sucessfuly navigated the killer roundabout in Swindon.

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
