You are right, I have made it easy for him. He knows if things don’t work out, he can come back because he knows how much I love him still.

He is someone who takes things very literally so if I were to say “I never want to see you again”, he would be upset but would respect & heed what I say. He would never try to come back, how ever much he missed me, because he would think I didn’t want to see him.

His move away will be a test, both for his R with the OW & with me.

Thanks for your advice, I’ll give it some thought. I had said, last time I saw him, that friendship was unlikely after D but I doubt he believes that I mean it. Maybe I can be less available to make him realise what he’s giving up. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.
