Oh my gosh Upside I totally know how you feel. It's like they want to keep one foot in the door and what out and that is exactly what my h said. They want you to hang on but they aren't sure how committed they can be. They miss you but not enough to move home. They don't want to lose you, but don't want to move home either, hence the confusion.

I think we are just as confused as they are. Then we start down that path as why wait and the journey gets old yada yada yada.

Step back, like you have and live for yourself for now. Your h will need to decide one day if he wants to catch up with you or not and then you will decide whether you want him back. You don't have to make a decision, sometimes those decisions will be made in time and made for us.

I saw the depression is what held my h back. He was paralyzed to take a step forward. The more I pushed the further he withdrew to the point of no return or return on his terms only. Then you have to ask what is the point of the R.

I hope this all works out for you. I wouldn't want that any other way, but I do know for sure that I couldn't make my h do anything he didn't want to. That was the biggest ah ha for me. As much as I wanted my h to return, he just wasn't going to do it by me asking and trying to get him to see my view. I do know that tactic didn't work.

I am blessed to have a friendship and business partner with my h. That is all I could ask of him and that is all he could give.

Maybe your sitch needs more time. You have lots of positives.

Cheers,
