GWN, I'm glad to come here this morning and see that you've posted and update. Glad to hear that the new job is working out and you love it. I'm also glad to see that you are going to remain in your home for a while longer. The market hasn't been all that great for selling homes in the last year or so. Hopefully when you are ready to actually move out the market will be better for you.
I'm sorry that you are still planning to move ahead w/the divorce, but I do understand where you are coming from. He may or may not be coming out of his crisis, but at least he's talking about seeking professional help once again.
I think you handled your many conversations w/your h very well. As for the boat issue, glad to read that you want your name off of it and are working towards that goal. My personal opinion is that you really shook him up when you told him that you want your named removed off the boat loan. That told him you meant business about moving on w/your life.
Your friend is very wise to tell you that your h can catch up w/you if he so chooses. This is so true.
I'm very proud of you...you've had a lot to handle and the conversations had to have been difficult for you.
Take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
