Happy belated birthday, Pud!

I don't know what to say to answer your question, but you seem to be doing well in your circumstances. Whatever you're doing, it's working. I know it's not to your satisfaction, but you're not doing or saying things that are pushing him away. I also know status quo is painful for you, but in the grand scheme of things, you're not in a bad place.

So keep on keepin' on!

Hugs,

Betsey
