That's the problem!

and thus my thread...how to 180 when you've been the aloof one...

Does the fact that he is in an A change the sitch?

If my more of the same is to withdraw, not pursue, not show affection...well, that's what I'm doing, acting exactly how he expects me to.

You see the problem!

So--I will have to ponder--maybe reading LL will help--if there is a way to initiate gentle contact.

I get it, I truly get it that while he is in the A he doesn't give two hoots about me; but if I just keep doing what I have always done--the sitch won't change.

Well. You all have Xmas events to take care of and cleaning and baking and such.

I hope the holidays go as well as they can, and I will check back in during my long travel days on Saturday and Sunday.

Be well-
