I'm sorry for him and I'll pray this is his bottom. He's in HP's hands now where he should be.
I would be inclined to think that HP has tucked him away to make it abundantly clear to you that life must go on without him. Take that job. Move away and move on.
There's nothing more to wait for. There's only looking forward for you now.
I'm getting tingly thinking of the new beginning this could be for you...how exciting!!!
Best wishes!!
