How long of not being in contact should pass before I start to panic? It's been a week of no contact from her. We walked the dogs together a week ago, and it seemed to go quite well (see earlier posts), but after that she pulled way back and ceased all contact. I'm scared she's leaving me behind for good. I've been getting out and meeting new people and doing new things, but still miss her terribly. She told a friend her "world is upside down" but she is with a "new person". Does that sound happy? I went out to brunch last weekend with an aquaintance (no romantic interest there at all--I'm so not there!!), and it was nice to get out. But the whole time I felt queasy, like I was cheating. I cannot understand how she could have seen her way clear to cheating without being physically/emotionally sick about it. How do people lock away feelings like that and compartmentalize? Wish I could. It may not be healthy, but I'd settle for easy over healthy in a heartbeat right now...
