I can relate. My H is also very stubborn and not spiritual at all. He also wanted to start “fresh” - his words. Except he has not been able to do it so far. He is still looking for a “perfect” partner to make him happy. It’s been two years since BD. I’m also wondering if he can ever come out on the other side.
