Somewhere out there is your quarterback just waiting for you turn up with those pompoms. Maybe it's your H and he's just in spring training!
I am not the best to advise being someone who has given up. But maybe it's more of a case of beginners mind. The only options aren't to continue on course or to give up. As you say you could step WAY back. You could just focus on you, becoming the woman you want to be etc, leaving the door open but not trying to lead him through it.
I'm losing my own analogy here but I would just say that there are several inbetweens.

awww this...he needs to forgive himself. He must be putting himself through hell. He probably feels like he doesn't deserve you.
