"You're looking for excuses!"
I started noticing that too!
Makes me wonder if he has already "given up" and plans to move on, but this little FR thread is a "check the box" action, similar to the spouse who goes to marriage counseling just to be able to say during the divorce "I TRIED to make it work, I even tried counseling."
Hope I'm wrong.
I hope you're wrong too. (Nothing personal :) )
When he starts looking for solutions and stops giving excuses why something can't be done, I'll believe he's sincere.
