Yeah. We all need them sometimes. A virtual hug sometimes feels good, even if we can't get a real one.

That's a question only you can answer. I've been there, from the "mean" perspective. Repeated kicks in the stomach. So many of the things my W said are still with me and still cause me unimaginable pain. Outwardly, I'm detached. To be honest, I'm not so good at it on the inside.

So the question is, are you willing to take the risk?

If you're asking about the stress of being forced out in a hurry (rather than the "mean" stuff), then I don't really have an answer. Sorry.

Some people would think I'm being kinda stupid for putting up with all of this, but for me, it was - and continues to be - worth the risk. In my case, W stopped being mean and settled on more or less indifferent. That's not good enough for me, so I hang in there. Stupid? Maybe. I dunno.

Agrees to go on the trip and let me stay till May 1 (which I prefer) and in the meantime we get along fantastically and we start to fall for each other once again

Once again, only you can answer this question. I would venture that if he is not willing, then you could cut your losses or you could continue to DB. If, however, he is willing, then that's what you want, right?
