Ms Cat :-x
I think he is sincere,in his own way..
The trouble is,that his sincerity is mashed up with lies he has to make to justify behaving weakly..
Its a shame,but he is not a burden of yours.
No more.
I am pleased that he did make the effort to reply to your Qs..That would have taken some time and effort on his part,so perhaps(in the future,when he grows up?:|)he may be able to reflect on what he has said/done and continues to be involved with.
It is rather strange,the other side,though.One could expect the other Mr would be hypervigilant..Very sad,but he will realise sooner or later and have other decisions to make.
You sound as though there is some resolve,and for that I am very pleased for you:-x
