Ive been here 3 years I never saw any real connection Ive seen touch and goes In my situtaion a lot of touch and goes especially in the beginning he would initaiate conversation with me regualrly for a time I made myself available to him to listen validate I wanted o show him I wanted this and was willing to cahnge we created positve connections many times but he always left he would reconnect again in a few days this was probably a safety net for him these MLC are giving up a lot mine gave up everything
his W,family and kids his home his stuff much of his clothes all his savings his credit his sobriety (20 years in AA) eventually his business basically he walked away with OW ( a real prize) asnd a banged up car thats it
Over time he still had touch and goes I think less as I detached more and once I met BF( i year ago)- I totally became unavailable to XH so there was little time to connect.. so either way didnt work for me being abailable and being gone nothing woke him up he also distanced during that time, seemed to get worse and M OW and eventually left the state he has no contact now peace
