You're right. The space/time to reflect w/ him not around will probably be a good thing.
While he is gone, get out there & GAL a bit, whether it's going to lunch w/ a friend or a girl's night for dinner or something. Keep up the good work w/ the gym too! I'm not having such luck w/ my will power as you seem to be having w/ regard to the gym
Between now & then start up your DB'ing again so that when he leaves & is gone, he is wondering what is up w/ you & what you're thinking & doing. This would be an awesome time for him to start worrying!! While he's gone just let him contact you & be really busy
I've always been a big gym buff. I find it so therapeutic.. it really cleanses my mind. I think we both need this time. I already have some plans in the works when he leaves. I am looking forward to it. I need this.
I just hope it works and that he doesn't find that being without me is what he wants.
