Tam, I'm sorry for what your H told you. If you keep on having R talks with him, it will drive him further away and he will keep on telling you the same thing. However, if you back right off, leave him to OW and get on with your own stuff - who knows, he may just start to turn back towards you again in time.
WAS's always say they are done and there is no hope. Truly there is no hope for now - but in time who knows? You contacting him, talk to him about R, asking him to try again is all contrary to DBing rules. Have you read & re-read DB and DR? Do you read and re-read the DBing rules every day? Please try and get yourself to a place where you don't drive him further away by pushing for another try at the M...respect his choice for now - even though it isn't what you want.
Take care xx
