its quite possible you two just are not compatible in enough areas - you move forward and seize life, and he seems to avoid it. your way is different than his way.
keep putting one foot in front of the other on YOUR path....he'll either be there nearby on his own path or not.
No, he has not started a job outside the home there in that state. He did begin his at-home business again, so he is producing some income. The area where they live is very remote and it's an hour drive to any commercial area. The remote area is what has helped him, I think. He's had no accessibility to his previous 'haunts'.
His plan is to return here after the holidays.
