For him to actually admit "I don't know what I want" is big IMO. Don't focus on the legal stuff. He "has to tell his lawyer to put the D on hold"? Bullcrap. Lawyers can't do anything without us. In the case of my W we all the way to the end, and she just never turned in the final papers. She changed her mind.
Work hard on your GAL right now. Exercise. Go have some fun. Wait and see what happens. This is classic DB time now, which should be exciting if you let it.
Your thread title "running out of time" confuses me. For what? I think you're figuring out how long and drawn out this process is, and he is also. D is a very long, expensive road, and for our purposes I think that's a very good thing.
Now post some of what you're doing! I don't ever hear that and it worries me. This stuff will drive you crazy unless you get of the rollercoaster.
