Going dark is to step back and remove yourself from the sitch. It's not to punish the other person, it's to center yourself.

In my case, I went totally dark after a year of back and forth with my W. It was easier for me to have no interactions with her than deal with the OM and that drama. Think of it as a time out for yourself.

It's tough, but in some ways much easier. I miss my W but it's easier with my GAL activities. Only you will know if it's time or appropriate, and trust me, you'll know.
