Thanks, Seeking Answers, that makes sense to ME but probably won't fly with WH. I'm more than happy to dump the "peanut gallery" but he works with them and I'm not sure how much influence they still have on him. His looking at apartments online last night really threw me.

Today he was back to flirting and calling me pet names, so I'm not sure WHAT'S rattling around in his head! Will continue to DB and have pleasant interactions for now...
