number 1 is what is best for you and what is DBish, imho. Guess that's what I'm saying. I don't see how "#2 is best for you" ???....it sets you up. It's more of the same stuff that didn't work before and won't now, esp after he TOLD you this R is what he wanted the whole time. NO pressure or pursuit and no dragging your feet to get your way. He wants out. Let him out.
Let him reflect on the NEW you, and not have you backslide...please....don't. With the new you, who knows? He may want you to stick around, he may be scratching his head now, but if you start pursuing he won't believe you changed at all; it was merely a tactic. Was it?
Just my .02
