Has the turmoil subsided somewhat?
Ya, waiting sucks. But you did what needed doing.
I like a tennis metaphor for this. You lobbed the ball over the net. Now it's up to him. He may not play the ball. He may play it, and fail to get it back over the net. Or he may put it back in play, by getting it back to your side. Just as you describe. And then it's up to you, to play his shot (or not). And so on.
I'm sure when you look back at this time, from some later perspective, that you will see this time for what it is. A true self-empowerment.
All the best,
Lar
