I think you are spot on with the desire for a new R but not necessarily with her. He absolutely doesn’t see himself being physically intimate with me ever again. He said this as recently as yesterday (but before the eye lock moment and I was really hoping he was feeling something in his underpants at that point, but that’s just wishful thinking!!)
He goes away on Tues, but ahead of that I think he has to make a decision whether to actually sign the rental contract. He could then move from 4th March. I think I’m his head he is going but obviously will need to tell the kids. I will be very upset if he chooses to tell them today or tomorrow as they are back at school on Monday and won’t see him after bedtime Monday night until fri before school. I’ve told him they will need some time to process this and just before they go back to school and him going away is not a good time. But I guess he could always sign it and then he leaves himself no choice but to tell them. He is keen on not letting this rental go as it is furnished- most aren’t. I was disappointed he has found a furnished rental because it makes it easy for him to go. He only has to take his car and personal belongings. The upheaval of having to buy furniture would have slowed him down a lot more. So much is telling me that this needs to happen, but I am still 100% unable to help him reach a decision and give any support to him leaving
