We were still in the time frame where we were supposed to be laying out and agreeing on our expectations for a 'new' relationship. I tentatively offered to give another year if we could come to some sort of agreement on how we envisioned a new relationship.
Perhaps I'm being rash, but does it seem worth trying to give another year to a relationship in which H has all but said, if he feels strongly enough about an issue, his opinion will trump all others? It just seems like this is enough to call the whole thing off.


"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
