This may not be what you want to hear.
It sounds like he's given up on his relationship but doesn't want to be the one to cut the cord.
One of my friend recently was telling me. He's divorced by the way so take this with that in mind.
Sometimes people stay in relationships because of comfort and it's easier to be in a relationship versus being alone.
IDK I don't know about you and your personal situation.
Hope my take helps but it's your decision to make what to do from here.
Oh man that sure is a fine-looking hawk!
Thanks for sharing. Great photographs.
