Perhaps, Roses, it's about perspective. You seem to be looking at this as, "make it stop!" when it's really about a long term process. He is telling you things and you may be missing some of that in your own pain and confusion. You hear the words, but I think you're missing some of the bigger picture. Easy to do, Roses.
This is not a quick process. We'd like it to be, but it's not. And no matter how much we'd like it to be, it's not about us per se. It can be if we're willing to walk away and never look back. But if we have that little ounce of "wait it out" we need to see it through.
This is a long process and I doubt seriously he is lying when he says he is trying. Be careful to not be seen as pursuing nor of having any expectations. He has a lot on his plate and will not let you do those things very long.
Be patient, be compassionate, and be patient.
