When you go dark they start to wonder what is going on in your life and will you still be there when their affair fizzles. I love the analogy of the rope dropping, it makes so much sense.

When my wife feels me pulling away it bothers her, then she initiates contact and the poor me syndrome and that she doesnt know what she is doing and that she blew up her life etc.. Then cries her eyes out. Me , Im a sucker for the crying and the profess my undying love and tell her all will be forgiven and then she gets her strength back. The analogy my therapists makes is one to a well. Her well was empty when I was dark and then when she knows she has me again in the wings, I have filled up her well and she pushes away again and continues with her relationship with OM. Its not an affair anymore.


Yes! Exactly... all of it.
