Dear alabamamama:

Clarity is important for you to have before you talk with him. This is my understanding of your position:

You are absolutely decided and certain about leaving for six months during which- unless he changes his mind and follows you- you will not see him.

Following the six months, you don’t know if he will want you back in the home you share or in his life.

Following the six months, you are at this point, interested in moving back with him, at least for a month and a half and possibly forever-more.

Following the six months, you are, at this point, open to the possibility that he will change his mind and follow you back to the other country.

Did I get it correctly? If not, correct me.
