Sunshine76--I was once a WAW and now I am LBW, so I can see both sides. When I was WAW, I had the same script for my first husband. I told him that I needed space to clear my head and I moved out. Before I moved out, I gave him so many chances to spend time with me and he didn't want too. So I figured that if I moved out, it would wake him up. But it didn't. He harassed me everyday. The more he did that, the further away he pushed me. Until one day I could not take it anymore and filed for the divorce.
Now, since I am on the other side, I understand why my first husband did what he did. Because I did the exact same thing to my present husband. Then I realize the more I contacted him the further away I was pushing him. So, after leaving him alone for about six weeks, he started to slowly contact me. But the only time he wants anything to do with me is when he has our D. He gets stressed out when he has for more than 2 days at a time. It was his decision to walk out on me, so he needs to deal with it. He only contacts me when it benefits him. So now that I see this, I am going to start detaching again.
