Yes, after the second bomb I was dark for about 4 weeks. I didn't initiate any contact but only responded to him. He texted me about once a week asking how I was, progressing to asking me what to do next and culminating in him finally being able to meet/ face me early June. That was when he asked me whether we could sell the house. I have really slowly built things up, staying dim after that until finally we had our first inconsequential text convo 2 weeks ago. Over the past month I have initiated more and after our meeting he voluntarily emailed me that picture of his parents puppy on Monday and texted me to meet on Wednesday.

We have been at stalemate over the finance thing for a while as you know but going dark again has made him more amenable.

The big thing before the second bomb in May was that he felt pressured andI didn't give him enough space.
