Does anyone have any good plan A ideas for me. Seeing as we live in different states now I am not sure the best way to do this. I should be hearing if I got the rental house this week. It is looking good so far so then he will have the option to move here.
Like I said I text message him each night to say good night and again last night he returned my message right away and told me "night night" so he is still doing that but hasn't called or emailed at all.

Just a question. What are you thoughts on me messaging him hi, or the good nights. Should I just stop and let him come to me or what?

Do you know what his emotional needs are? Have you and he filled out the EN questionnaire? If not, fill it out and mail it to him and ask him to fill it out. You can't plan A and meet EN if you don't know what they are. Ask him how you two can be friends through all of this? Ask him questions about his day. Don't over do it though. I think you said once you were getting back one call for every 10 of yours, so slow it down if this is still the case.

actually we both filled out the emotional needs questions back when I discoved the EA (PA?) he was eager then to get his marriage back. I dont have a copy of it now but I pretty much know he needs alot of attention emotionally he needs to know he is number one. He didnt get that growing up and well I know he wants to come first above all others. The finances came in the way and his lack of stable work and I know he felt so down on himself and he did not try and the it was like him chasing his tail.
He has not emailed or messaged or called me today so tonight I think I will not message him my good night message for once.
