. This makes a lot of sense. I dont think I went looking for a definitive answer to "are you in or out", but I wanted to put some closure to this current state of limbo, and I think showing him I have a voice has put some form of closure - or at least a change of dyanmic - to the situation.

His head is very, very far up his a$$ right now and I kind of feel sorry for him, a little, but more want to punch him in the nose for treating you and his children like this.

LOL May, i love that description - he is a poor excuse for a H, and yes his head is firmly where the sun don't shine! I think when I said to him that it makes me feel sick that your'e my H but you're not a H, it made him reel a little. He looked a little shocked (again). My BFF says he thinks he's god's gift to women and that he thinks I idolise him - and for the first time I've really called him out on the fact he hasnt acted like a H or any person I want in my life.

Re the IC, I know that this partcular person (male) does not do MC, so I am wondering how 'pro-marriage' he will be, or how experienced in dealing with marital issues, or helping H understand that there *may* be an alternative to leaving. H doesnt really see the cost of IC as an investment in himself so I would be surprised if he sticks it out for long.
