I was just catching up on your thread. I love Eric's comment that "Rome wasn't built in a day." Probably because I say that every day:)
I'm not an expert but I do sense you are trying to rush the process. Let you h figure stuff out-he has to do that. You can't "convince" him of why he should be open to reconcilliation. He needs to get there on his own.
I do agree that you 2 share a strong connection and work well together. But my 2 cents is to back off a bit. Love the idea of going on vacation. Step back. Let him pursue.
