Damn, LL your threads are rivetting!...Give Cindy a break, she hasn't followed your sitch as long as some of us have...
LL, once again, I saw my exfiance as that lump on the couch...no menopause there either, the guy was only 28 when we broke up!
I have to go with LL on NOT taking H's pitiful attempts at "making things okay" this time around. And it seems that you NOT giving in DID bring him around to at least the HUG! (which IS a step up, you must agree).
I'd say continue the detatching...Aren't you even a little curious as to how he's going to react? Oh, right, I suppose that would be counter-productive!
