Very well put, as usual, Ali. Dbing is that 'opposite reaction' stuff. It shocks them to see that you aren't having a 'normal' reaction to the breakup. You seem reasonable, confident, a little aloof. Those can all be good things. It's almost like playing hard to get but you're not playing at all.

That's one heck of a description your bf gives of his feelings. He has obviously thought a lot about that.
