Just wanted to say, why not hold on to a smidge of integrity if you are willing to stay in this M and avoid the sex issue for now.

If H releases the "no kissing" rule and they have fun together in bed then I think it's not an integrity loss. If he won't give up that rule then I'd hope Heather wouldn't continue.

It does seem like there are elements of an ultimatum in this approach but the bright side is those elements wouldn't be visible to H. If he reacts negatively it would just be up to Heather how much more mean-spirited rejection she's willing to take. The answer may well be "none" or "precious little". But if it worked and H gave up his stupid rules, dang...just think how much easier his burden would be, not having to carry around all those tools of mental punishment.

One thing I never fully consciously realized before is that one of H's problems is he doesn't think it's right for Heather to have her mini-A and then end up with a better M. From a certain perspective that's an understandable thought. But the A is over and done, H, when are you going to figure out that a better M is to your own benefit?

Somebody needs to explain "sunk costs" to that boy.
