Hi Roxi. I know exactly how you feel. It is six and a half months for me now. Our Hs sound similar in how they are behaving right now. I think the hugs are from guilt. They think they are helping us to deal with it better. At least that's what my H thinks as he told me! He thinks that he is being amazing and making it easier for me and the kids by coming round all the time and not withdrawing his finances. I just think he's cake eating and enough is enough! As job says, this could take months or years. The thought is terrifying! Like you, I feel the constant threat of impending doom hanging over me and just want an end to the limbo now, one way or the other! Hang on in there, I know it's tough. I've no idea how you decide when the time is right to say enough is enough. Everyone around me tells I should be filing now because H will keep it like this forever.
