LA, I've been keeping up but haven't posted, sorry. I have the same problem with not understanding the meaning behind what H says, and I just posted an example on my thread. Like you, if I knew the reason, I would have been ok.
Since H has told you he is ready to work on the R, what differences have you seen? Are you breaking the old dynamics? Do you think your H can fulfill your needs?
Going to the new MC sounds like a good step. You've gotten good advice about keeping the expectations low. You sound like you are struggling with your feelings and a little bit like the WAS. Can you overcome that?
