Ugh - I really don't know how you do it.

But - short of moving out (which I know you're not quite financially ready to do until/unless the house sells or he buys you out, right?) - there is one other thing that might snap him back to reality.

I mention this cautiously, because it's tricky and not right for every situation.

But what I've often seen here, is when the LBS finally gives up and starts dating, the WAS finally snaps awake.

NOW MIND YOU, I am NOT suggesting you start dating. That's just asking for a complicated mess right now, plus not fair to whomever you might date.

BUT - if you can just get your H thinking about the idea - wondering where you are, why you were out late last night with a vague answer as to where you were, where those roses in the kitchen came from.........all without actually DOING anything you could be ashamed of later.......well, sometimes it does make them start to think about what they might lose.

Isn't it more fair to give him the chance to react to the idea of you dating NOW - without you actually doing it - that to wait until you're completely done and have him want you back when you're already over him?
