You're not "mind-reading," you're observing BEHAVIOR. That's good. And I largely agree with your assessments.
Only thing I disagreed with was this:
Quote:
Of course it could also be that the OM is now living with her (as a lodger ... ahem) so she doesn't need my plate anymore. They all happened around the same time.
Remember, "BAD = GOOD" and "GOOD = BAD" in these situations. If she were in a particularly GOOD mood (esp. one that's kind of different than the good moods she used to get into with you), then I'd say she had her OM fix. But a BAD mood would mean she's not at all happy with the way her plan is progressing, either with you or OM, or some combination of the two.
Just keep up the upbeat civility, the "BUSY-BUSY-BUSY/GOTTA GO-GOTTA GO-GOTTA GO" and the mystique. Remember, you always want your darkness and non-response to be directly related to being BUSY, and not because you're being avoidant, pouty or passive-aggressive. A nice, hours-later (or even a day later) chirpy "Oh, sorry -- just saw your text message. I was out." (then answer whatever question she had HERE), followed by another upbeat "Look, I was just on my way out the door. We'll catch up sometime later." and then (((POOF!))) . . . you're gone.
