yes you are helping - thank you for your responses, they are really appreciated.
1 other thing I meant to mention was that i said to him today jokingly ' do you reckon you are ever going to be ready to settle down again'.
His response was ' yes' ( very definite, no thinking took place before this answer came out of his mouth) Then he said ' but when that will be, I just dont know - but when i do it will be with you'.
Hard isn't it, coz when he says things like this I do beleive he is being sincere....
I know I cant push or pressurise H into wanting to comit - if it happens I do think it will be a matter of time...
