I predict he will call after the big presentation, tomorrow or the next day.
My prediction was wrong, two days have passed since the event and still no contact. This is even worse than I thought and confirms for me that leaving is absolutely the right thing to do. I was to leave this coming Tuesday and arrive on Wednesday and there has been no communication to confirm nor discomfirm that I will be on that plane. Hmmmm.
I am having a hard time focusing on doing everything I need to do in order to be out of this house within the next 25 days. Switching my orientation from preparing for vacation in Europe to moving out isn't easy.
I think it is to my advantage on the practical level to not tell him specifically that I plan to leave. He could potentially do some things which would make that more difficult for me. I want the time. (That is more important to me than what might be the best relationship strategy because the chances that I will ever want him back grow more dim each day.) So, I'm not sure exactly what to say in the event that he does contact me at some point.
Do I switch my decisiveness to my decision not to vacation with him and remain vague about anything more, something like, "I decided not to meet you in Europe. I don't want to vacation with someone who treats me the way you have been. And anyway, I'm enjoying this time apart. I realize now how much I needed that. I've changed my ticket so I can have a vacation I'll enjoy more."
