AS - Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. You're absolutely right with your edit. That would have been a much better way to handle the conversation and would likely have saved me a lot of heartache. I'm still finding it hard to remember that this H is not my H. He looks like my H and sometimes even acts like him. In this conversation, he seemed genuinely concerned about my feelings. Well, until I actually stated them. The concern disappeared instantly at that point. I have to do a better job of reminding myself that I can't trust this H with my feelings. He doesn't care about them.
