I've missed you! Sorry you've been away for not so nice reasons.
Argh! What an ass. Wait, we already knew that about him. This is why it's bad to have expectations. You expected H to be decent and honor his word. Mistake. Yes, of course he should have, but since he has already proven himself a cheater and liar then this shouldn't come as a total surprise.
So, lesson learned. Do NOT trust him to do anything that could even be remotely construed as beneficial to you. You're right to do what it takes to get him to sign the papers then serve his ass the next day. And beyond that, do not do anything.
You need to work on detachment and get to the point where you stop trying to understand how/why he's doing what he's doing. That's only going to drive you crazy. As my friend Jon (previously on these boards) says, stop trying to rationalize the irrational. Never gonna happen!
Stay on the high road. I know how much it sucks having to be the bigger person. But in the end you'll be happier with yourself. Of course once it's over you can really tell him off.
On the job topic, sorry it's not working out well for you. Keep sending the resumes out and I'm sure something else will turn up soon.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
