Forward, slow as she goes

[WCW]

I'm glad you've got some peace for now. Sometimes it's good just to take yourself out of your life and make an escape, even if it's temporary.

You don't sound ready to make your split permanent, and that's okay. Only you can make that choice. Keep getting things in order.

It sure seems like your H reaches out for you and doesn't want to let go, yet he won't engage either. Why wouldn't he want out? Job or religious reasons?

I wonder BH, when forcing a change why does it have to be mean spirited and drastic? Does it have to be Shock and Awe?
My H said he was leaving and drove out. I changed the locks, but then chickened out and changed them back. He was back almost faster than I could get those locks changed. I was glad he didn't come back to find the locks changed. I suppose it can be argued he would have been shocked and pleaded with me, but because he is who he is I think he would have turned and walked away for good.
