Hi Ro,
I'm sorry you didn't see the short-term improvement you were hoping to see. Reading along with your sitch though, I felt like you and H seemed stuck. You've shown H you are making changes and some space/distance could really help him get clarity. He hasn't had the "opportunity" to miss you yet or really experience life without you.

If he doesn't come to his senses, at least you will find out and be able to move on.

All I can say is that my H and I have separated, rarely spend time together...but we aren't any worse off than when he was spending more time in the house. In a way, it's much better because he doesn't see any negatives.

It's all painful and very up/down emotionally. Hold your head high and keep working on yourself! I can tell you are an amazing woman.

Hugs,
NB
