Well, Allen, your analysis is better than most, that's for sure! lol
You've given me some good things to think about, that's for sure! I wouldn't say H is there right now. Is he headed there? I'd like to think so but there's no telling for sure. I can say that even though he's acted like a jerk quite a bit these last 4 months that right now he seems to be willing to work toward sticking to his commitments. (Esp. given the fact that 4 months ago he was ready to walk away.) I wouldn't say things are easy right now, but easier than they were 4 months ago, that's for sure. I just keep thinking, if he was really going to leave, he would've gone already at this point. So therefore, according to his actions, I would say his gut is more committed than his mouth is.
The part that bugs me most right now is that while his behavior has improved greatly, he is still not affectionate towards me at all. (Except for the few times he's wanted sex.) He makes no move to hold my hand or have eye contact, or kiss me.... So, he's right in telling D that it's more like roommates at the moment. I'm sure it's a good step to at least be getting along.
However, I probably just answered me own question about sex! Why should I give in to that when I am getting no affection? It's easy to say that now but harder when things heat up. lol
I guess I need a campaign slogan: Just say no!!! :-)
