Maybe financal security is something he feels he needs BEFORE returning to you. In order to take away a source of stress and anxiety? I think you did the right thing by telling him you do not want to be dependent of him! Good work, As for the job...wait and see before you panic. It may not even pan out. He may end up working closer to you! For the moment, concentrate on the good signs, LIKE BEING ASKED TO ELOPE BY YOUR HUSBAND . I mean come on! If that isnt a sign he is totally in love with you, I dont know what is!
