Tried practicing a bit of pulling back and the response seemed favorable.
I didnt act clingy as usual I went outside alone for awhile until he came looking for me I kept busy, instead of just planting myself in the living room I kept positive and a little upbeat but not too upbeat where its fake I mirrored. When he got talkative, when he hugged me, when he said he loves me, when he smiled a little....i mirrored him. Hope he doesnt catch on to that. I turned up some music and sang while doing dishes I went for a moonlight walk I did my homework for school
When i felt tears coming on i went where no one could see it. I wanted the evening to be relaxed and cheerful.
The end result of my positive energy was, he seemed a little more drawn by me. He didnt want to go to bed..and kept hanging on to talk about his old hkes he took long ago. He hugged and kissed me in a way that felt closer.
I didnt do any major pulling back, it was just slight.
He looked as if he had been crying when he came home from work...and later when i got back from my walk his eyes were red and puffy. I did not pressure him to talk, i simplynaskes if he was ok and he nodded.
