MrsD: Sorry I didnt answer you sooner, its my first time on today. I had an incredibly busy day and just walked in the door for the first time since 6:15 this morning.
Ok, to answer you question about why I think you should avoid him completely for a bit...honestly you ended up in a conversation that you didnt need to be in, and then you walked away.....im not saying walking away was good or bad, if you thought it was rude then your probably right and he probably saw it as well.
Honestly what I saw in your post didnt have alot to do with the conversation and had more to do with you fixing him a plate and bringing it to him without him asking you to do it. Thats the kind of subtle pursuing that would probably lead him to believe that nothing is different. I know you want to do those things, but as of now its not your place, and honestly he doesn't want you to be doing that right now. Detaching is so, so hard and its what I have the most trouble with myself which is why I have simply avoided like crazy for the last week. I was simply suggesting that maybe you should try the same for a bit and see if it makes a difference in you and possibly in him as well.
