I'm just dropping in on the fly for advice and suggestions and will respond to other people's situations later tonight.
I can tell from my phone at work this a.m., that my h called me late Friday afternoon (I left early to gal!). As you know, I saw him yesterday. He called 2X this a.m. at home (likely about dog drop-off this a.m.), didn't leave a message, then called me this afternoon at work and left a message confirming drop-off (so drop-off not really a problem, right?)
My problem is that in his telephone message at work today, he asked me a question about how I'm doing after some emergency surgery last fall, which continues to affect where and how I can ski... he picked that up yesterday when he saw me in the parking lot.
It feels rude not to call him back and I don't think that's what detachment and even going dark or dim is all about.
