Holy S**t, JJ, does he know what he is doing? That "separating" is synonymous with "walking away?" Of course he wants to ML now, he unloaded all of the pressure. The DB discussion boreds are full of separated people having sex. Ironic, isn't it?

You might tell him that the most progress is made in relationships when the two individuals act as intimate partners. That means, in your opinion, that separation is counterproductive to the M. (BTW, you know now that his work schedule is death to your M, don't you?)

You might also tell him that Jenny is an old fashioned gal who would never dream of dropping her knickers for a fella who will not commit himself to her.

Hugs and fish oil capsules,
