He's Just Not That Into You

What do you think will motivate him to make the changes you need to see?

That seems to be the $64,000 question. Over the past few months, we've gone from nasty, to tolerant to now friendly, so that's a good trajectory. But we need to go from friendly to loving, which is the hardest jump.

The only thing I can think of at this point? I get frustrated enough to walk away, which snaps him into action. H does not want to lose his kids. I do think something big needs to happen - a jolt so to speak. I'm not wishing for a tragedy at this point obviously.

Of course the MC could do something besides sit there, which might help too.
