Hi Rachael,

I agree with all Snodderly said...You have done what you needed to do...From what you have described in H's actions and words, whether its pride, embarrassment or whatever, he isn't ready. Also, about your remorse and tears expectations, maybe you will not get those. Some people just do not emote that way, though the remorse IS there...when W has apologized to me for things recently, she wasn't all emotional and teary, which at first I did not like...but then I thought about her standard "overly emotional" ways, and her HPD/BPD traits, and thought..."hmm, maybe if she WAS very emotional and such, it could just be HPD/BPD hoovering, and I wouldn't/shouldn't trust it...maybe, MAYBE, because it was serious, yet not all emotional...MAYbe it is actually thought out and more sincere..." Could you look beyond and maybe see if the remorse is there, just shielded or something that isn't obvious? -- Make sense?

I wouldn't worry about making any major decisions right now...You stood up for yourself and stood up to him...let H stew in his own mess for awhile, let him consider the implications (telling mom, moving out, etc) of the reality you laid out. Know what I mean?

Hang in there!
