I think last month I wondered what H was doing or thinking on the nights he didn't call. I purposely wanted to take things slow, which seemed to frustrate him - he had the attitude that we couldn't move things along unless we were spending time together. Couldn't get it through to him that when we spent time together I would see how things were.
H told everyone we were together and broken off and together and off so many times that I gave up wondering what others think. They either know that he had a problem or not. I took the attitude that it only matters what I think. MC said the same at one point.
I think family and friends usually try to stay out of the details and just want things to be ok like in DB book. They seem to go back and forth with us.
