Hey, Tumbling. I know how you feel. Kaffe Diem said it's the "touch and go" behavior, when the WAS contacts you and then dissapears. I think your H still thinks he has you in the palm of his hand. He feels in control. You need to show him you are in control of your life, and will be okay whether he contacts you or not--even if this is not entirely true at times, show it anyway. So next time you have to make a decision on how to reply, ask yourself, what would the strong, independent, detached me do? And then follow through.
