Well looking back at Sandi's response...she said go Dark - Dark like unless it's life and death, no reason to respond. I value Sandi's insight because she knows more about what's going inside my W's head than I do.

She also emphasized to me NOT to consider it ignoring her.

I'm not busting at the seams wanting to respond, but it pisses me off when she doesn't get back to me in a timely manner. So I feel like I'm cutting against the grain by doing something that I dont like done to me.

My problem with responding...is it feels like I have to. Also, when I have done it it winds up biting me in a$$ somehow.
The other side of the coin is... if I don't respond I feel like it's vindictive and cold.

How do I choose?
