thanks breakdown. I have learned that if I distance myself he does the same and if I try to come closer, he also does the same. In other words I can't follow all 37 rules with him or else it backfires.

In other words, pushing him away like this will make him pull away. However I can't stomach another 6mos like this or 4 or 2!

What worries me is that I won't stick to my boundaries. I'll change plans and say, oh to heck with it. Let's continue where we were at.

On the plus side, we are a lot closer than before. Every month we are closer BUT he's still in contact with OW and that's too much for me!
