Thanks for the update, I have been thinking about you and trying to send good thoughts your way!
I vote for #1. I think your H knows that you are there for him, that is why he calls you at odd hours. He seems to be in a depressed MLC funk and you don't need to get dragged into his drama. It just brings you down! And you don't need that.
Just my .02...
Focus on the other good stuff in your life, and if you want to get together sometime just send me an e-mail.
Take care, SG
