Maybe this is the case in your situation - or maybe like you said he doesn't have the guts to do it.

I think stepping back and letting him do what he thinks he needs to do is the best option right now. Keep DR!

From my previous thread.

Thanks Jersey for your support smile. My H did say when he told me that he wanted to change the status of our separation from "trial" that in terms of a divorce he "hasn't thought that far ahead". I have made sure he knows that none of this is my choice or my decision and that if he does want to go the D route, then he's going to have to do it, even though I would have enough grounds due to his adultery (didn't mention that last bit of course, just thought it). Many of our mutual friends are convinced that once OW realizes just what she's got in him (ie, not a penny to his name frown LOL) and how dependent he's going to be on her to drive him everywhere as well, she'll soon be gone and he'll probably try to come crawling back to me. Those that haven't met OW have said that once he fully realizes what he's walking away from, he'll come crawling back as well.

Only time will tell. Just as only time will tell if I'll still have that door open - but to use H 's words "I haven't thought that far ahead" smile.
