SCh It would really help to know what's going on in his head, but you don't have that option, actually even if you could see in, you would probably see just total chaos. All I see from your posts is that he is really confused. I think that because there is no OW there are better chances that he will de-fogg sooner...maybe? And he is showing more interest in you then lots of other WH I read about on this forum. So try to look at the positive.
If you go by DB principles; you should not judge him just validate and try to be his friend. Maybe time to re-read Michele's books for inspiration? Or, if you can afford it maybe the Divorce busting coach could help you with some ideas.
I feel for you, I know how incredibly frustrating and painful this is. I wish that I had some magic solutions for you, but I don't
Hang in there (((hugs)))
