Your thread comes up wide for me too, I wonder why that happens?
I like that you told him straight out what was bothering you and gave him the chance to reassure you! Seems like the quickest method to resolving these things might be to just state our feelings. Whenever H gets grumpy or quiet, I keep waiting for him to bolt again.
Is a move still a possiblitiy for you? How do you feel about that? From this end it sounds like things are going great for you! I'm glad.
