Wow - I love that quote about him crawling toward you and you knocking him over. That's an incredible revelation for him to be so aware of his feelings. It's such a great image too.

Two weeks seems like an eternity, but since the alternate path means no more H at all, it's well worth it. I think I'm going to aim for a month of no contact (H is extremely slow to process anything - you should see him decide what he'd like to drink with dinner... takes an eternity. Hmmm I should starting asking him what he wants for the entire meal- really make him commit to a decision. Oops, snarky comments about H are counterproductive - yet oddly entertaining)

That seems like you've made incredible progress then, since the fall. I know you aren't where you want to be, or where you imagined you'd be in the spring (who among us is?) but what a difference! You should be proud of this change.
