He's not only talking. He filed 3 days ago. Since we have no kids, he's trying to push it through quickly.

I have been out, but I admit I try to hang around to see if he comes home. He does super late after I am in bed. I admit to wanting to see him come home early one day.

He changed his number and deleted his FB. He hasn't even contacted his brothers. I am not sure why. They are in contact with me. It's like he was trying to cut everyone out of his life except mommy. Truthfully, he never pursued relationships with anyone except me. I can see now how unhealthy that was.

I am going to speak to our head rabbi and have him reach out to him, gently. I don't want to turn him off from ever wanting to go to synagogue again, though. He does trust our head rabbi.
