At this point I will try to be patient a while longer and see what happens. The fact that I haven't brought up ow or R in about 3 weeks seems to be helping. H acts more like himself. He left a vm while I was at the gym today. I leave my phone in the locker. He responded to an email I had sent ( a friendly one) and then went on jokingly about where I might be, then said he would call home to see if I was there. He left another funny message at home about where I was.
