I just spent 5 days apart from my W over the past week. Sandi told me to not think of her and to try to recharge. This was really good advice because while I was away, I slept better than I have in a long time and when W and I both got back home, we were both in a lighter mood. Although I was thinking about her, I did not call, text, etc. while I was gone except to give brief replies to the few texts that she sent.
Bottom line, time apart was good for both of us after a tense holiday season!
