Well Oz IMHO I do think that you have a great deal of control currently. I think that he's acting out because you didn't give him the answer that he wanted IMMEDIATELY this morning. You also have him rattled as he seems to think that you have an om!!

Oz - I found this quote earlier and this is what has happened in your sitch, I think:

Detach, until he feels you are gone. That is what will "shake things up"

I think that you have detached good!!

My S thinks H has convinced himself that there is an OM and so in his current state of mind that is what he wants to believe for whatever reason.

I actually find it quite fascinating everything has all of sudden changed.

Oh I can't wait for your post after you get home/tomorrow/whenever ... it's like waiting for my favourite soap to come on TV!

Hey, do you think that TV scripters come to places like this to lurk for some ideas? Bet we could all keep them going for years!!

You never know Nell, they just might.

I am hoping however that by the time I get home tonight or even by the time I sit down to watch some TV that some of our other friends have come online with their views on that matter as I really really don't have a clue as to what I should or shouldn't say tonight or if I ignore it completeley.

As it sounds to me like, he intends to not be there when I get home tomorrow night after the parade which will be a nuisance as he won't see me dressed up and all the rest.

I hear you. It's good to have a few people give their perspective.

Despite there being some negative comments about the Urgent posts thread that I put up, why not give it a shot? Copy and paste your words there and see if it sparks a lurker in to action??

Hi Oz. Dinner time is looming eh? smile

I kept silent as frankly I'm not sure I have that much to add that's of any positive value, and also did get lost a little in the flow of events in your sitch.

Having said that, yeah, your H is exhibiting confusing behaviour. Is he:

- Trying to assert control via subtle emotional blackmail / indirect threat?
- Paranoid and finds it a blow that you seem to be maybe, just maybe, getting a life?
- Happily on the road to lala land (perhaps with OW) and can't wait to use this as justification in his own mind?

But since you've decided to detach and find your own self-respect, stay the course! So what is he does not see you all dressed up. The point is that you will be, and looking very ravishing. It's too bad for him if he misses it.

As for that email, you might consider making it very clear to him that trying to put some distance in the M is and was his idea that he conveyed very clearly to you. You were, am, and will not be for it, but won't be sitting on your nicely dressed, absolutely fabulous behind waiting for him to have a change of heart.

Hi Oz,

Wow!

I'm a bit like Deep in that I'm not sure how to respond here. My initial thought was that he was trying to reassert his control in this situation and says he is going to leave to give you space. However, in reality perhaps this really suits his purpose and justifies his own desire to move out. perhaps my thoughts are too influenced by my own sitch though. His constant texts/calls and emails indicate a bit of a panic though.

What to do now? Where is Gucci when you need him!!??

As it's dinner time you may have already had a convo with him. Will check in later.

Hi Deep

Dinner time is definitely looming.

Sorry my situation has got a little bit confusing, well it wasn't until today's events with his first email.

I think I needed to find my self respect as not doing so was just not going to be any good for me.

I do want to convey to him in some way that it was him that wanted the distance, I did try that today but it obviously didn't register.

I think he could be doing any of your above suggestions in particular I think your second one.

I guess it is hard as we are not inside their minds to work out what is going on.

Hi Cas

I think there is a degree of panic that is why I think he may be a bit paranoid about me and yes I thought it was to try and gain control again as I think he realises he has lost the control.

He won't be home for another hour, so I haven't spoken to him at all yet.

As you say where is Gucci....
