I don't think you should have expected anything from him.....a note or a text. Go dark and see how he reacts...

I agree, its hard, but maybe try going dark like ks chick said. might help...if only to get your mind off of him for a bit.

I'm really sorry that you are going thru this. it just sucks.

I wish we all lived closer together.
Oh well, in lieu of that, at least we have this board.
I hate to think where I would be without this forum.


I think I have to go dark to keep my sanity.

hey, if you are ever in boston, we'll have to try to get together. I'm tempted to put a post out to anyone in/around boston and see if they want to do a GAL meet, actually. too bad you are so far away!

having the forum is great, though, isn't it? I wish I had found it sooner. not sure if it would have changed anything, but it would have been nice to have the support earlier on. and would have saved my sister some middle-of-the-night phone calls.

To be really effective, "going dark", has to be a serious undertaking.
it's also not one to be done lightly.

agent99, you are WAAAY better off than most people who decide to go dark.

if you cant take the stress, just quit working on "him" for a while, and make yourself happy.

You dont have to "go dark", to stop concentrating on him.
Hope you find something fun to occupy your weekend.
(i'm going hiking for a while)

enjoy

Dom, can I ask what you mean about going dark being serious, not done lightly? guess I'm just asking for specifics.

I can't really go dark, since we have young kids and talk daily/see each other several times a week. but I have (for the most part) stopped calling him/creating reasons to call him. I've slipped a bit lately, but for the most part have held strong with that.

yeah, I need some elaboration too.
I (until the TM I sent him to tell him to get his mail) haven't been calling him or emailing him or whatever.

I know that in a sense I look better off than most since he isn't (as far as i know) involved with anyone else. But in another way it's worse because he isn't "in the fog". And he is purposely trying to get in the fog.

I didn't plan to write a Plan B letter or anything; more like fall off the planet.

Inquiring minds. \:\)
