Today H emailed me that he had arrived at his friend's house in France. Told me what they had been doing.
Don't understand why H is doing this. I don't think it is just practical because he didn't give me a phone number where he could be reached for something urgent.
I didn't reply to his last email and I don't see any reason to reply to this one. Anyone see it differently?
- nope don't reply, he will email again when he doesn't see a reply, and then he will email again and then he will phone.
Create a vacuum, make space between you & him (and not the geograhical distance type space), if he's emailing you, he will expect a response, I guarantee it and you won't give it to him. It will make him curious, going dark isn't easy but no contact tends to make people very curious.

It took 2 weeks for H to email again. The cycle continues where when I don't respond to his emails, his next one is very formal and brief, rather than a chatty report about his wonderful vacation.
This time he writes:
Quote:
Dear Dudess,
how are you?
Where are you?
Did you [take care of home maintenance issue]?
How 's it going with [joint financial matter]?
i'm still [at friends' house] It is starting to get cold here.
