hurtinhartford,

It feels great to get a crumb of communication, but don't run away with it, whatever you do.I'm new to this, taking the DR techniques as a kind of "users manual", but for what it's worth I wouldn't answer, or just "ok". Scarce on words. She'll be expecting you to e-mail her, I suppose "do something different". It's Friday evening here, I've just put down my first day at an inner-city junior high school with some tough customers. I was feeling blue I couldn't share my day with H as in the past. But I'll be hanged if I call him over anything but the children. And guess who just telephoned of his own accord?He spoke to the kids, then asked to speak to me, spent some time asking (wow) about my new school, and telling me his (work) troubles. All nice and friendly. He even said "je te fais des bisous" (= kiss you) at the end. i managed to stay "light and upbeat". Maybe my "going dark" is working. I'll keep going. It feels like you must reverse the tide, somehow. You have to stop being the one to do the running, I think. Having said that,my sit. is not the same as yours, my H has left possibly to re-unite with his hairdresser from hell. I'm telling myself that she's unavailable this evening, motivating a twinge of homesickness.
All this is very trying, I've never felt so lonely.I wish you luck in choosing the right tack.
