Thanks for the replys - sorry I haven't seen them until now. I didn't have any contact with my H for about three weeks - I did find it hard because we always spoke about 20 times a day, but at the time I felt so exhausted I just needed some me time. To be honest though I think the true detaching came when I was back in contact with him but was completely different - I know longer answered his calls on the first ring, was no longer waiting around for him to ring! I was going out and actually enjoying myself, and I was feeling more like 'me' than I have in a long time.
I'm back at the house now - I know it was going to be bumpy because we've lived apart so long, but after having a lovely Saturday and Sunday together, yesterday he was acting really off and told me yesterday afternoon he feels like 'there's something missing' (that old chestnut!). That's all he's said and I didn't particuarly feel like talking to him about it (a bit 180 for me because I would usually just talk and talk and talk at him). Now I'm not too sure what to do - I don't just want to move back out because I feel that will be a massive step back (and legally he can't make me move out anyway). Do you guys think I'm should just stay put but not have any relationship talk?
