10-4, I hear you loud and clear. It could all be talk.
I'm not sure what will happen. I do believe he will "try" to recover, but whether what he tries will work for him, I don't know. This could turn into a life long condition now, rather than an episode. He's in pretty rough shape.
My gut tells me that if I stay in some contact with him, like a supportive friend who lives in another state, but keep the romantic relationship off the table, this will roll along to its natural conclusion. Either he won't do anything to recover, or what he tries won't work and I'll reach a point where my feelings and what we had will just fade into history. I don't think I will be able to sustain this level of...intense investment... for too much longer. Knowing myself, my breaker is going to flip to the off position at some point.
Or, he could recover and we could see what happens then but I suspect that will be a ways off. At least 6 months...probably more like a year. That's a long time to live a separate life from someone and then magically get back to together. As a friend of mine said...miracles are possible, but overall, it's not looking good.
