Why not put him in a crucible while you still care? Is it easy? NO. It puts you in one also, and at risk for loss of EC.
Had a thought for you HP, that came from a collection of your own posts today.
What the hell happened to this thread today. Sheesh.
anyways you said it had been 8 days. What do you think of saying No when he does bring it up?
You had an agreement that it would be every 3 days and for some reason it wasnt kept. Tell him you dont have EC, etc. Be honest, but DO NOT let him berate himself.
It puts you in a different type of enforcer mode, and will not be palatable to you. Let him see that also.
Tell him what you told Aeronaut. Let him know he can lose you, emotionally and physically. (though I remember you said otherwise before, Thats why I suggest this.) Have you ever told him No? Has that ever been a 180 you tried.
You can want it, and he can know that you want him, that you are going nuts with desire, and your eyes, mind are wandering because of it. that is even better actually. But the way he frivolously treats your feelings is not acceptable and untill he realizes that, you dont wnat to be 'jerked around' by his promises, and agreements that dont come thru. Its a form of dishonesty, and destroys the ability to trust that he cares for you, values you, and that he is a man of his word.
Can you do something like this without being upset? Can you stick to it untill he can 'show' you otherwise? What that 'showing' should be I am not sure, and dont have a suggestion for.
This is no game playing or manipulation. Its straight forward, honest, and a 180 with the not being available.
If you give in to soon it will come off as women change their mind with their feelings, and wont be taken seriously.
I dont recommend letters for H to W, but have you ever tried it. They used to work when x gave them to me.
