Hi Reb. I know that feeling - that you are giving them signs that you ate ok with the situation.

I was feeling this way recently and went dimmer for my own POM. I felt it sent our relationship back the other direction.

To me, his replies and texting are progress. It seems we will all have to be friends before we can move forward with any R.

My 2 cents. Probably some vets that can help you more.
