Tori, thanks for stopping by. I know you're busy.
Yes - it was a positive result but I bet Labug will say I was trying to control the sitch by getting my fix and moving away from txtng. As much as I say I am not driving this, I did yesterday.

I understand what your coach would say and that was how it was in Mar-Jun but I DON'T WANT TO PLAY BY THOSE RULES UNLESS WE AGREE THAT WE ARE PIECING. Otherwise I will be DBing my a$$ off and then suddenly he will think it's ok to go to ground and the ride will be off and running.

I think he is in a sensible/rational state of mind having not seen me for 3 months. He may be in the right place to do things differently himself.

I want to take things slow/be close friends w no physical/R pressure and see where we end up, figure at some point we will agree on whether to reconcile or call it a day. Fix or Split.

The mixed message issue is that he might think we are reconciling now when I am "detached but interested".

He text on arriving at his destination tonight to let me know he's safe. Had a big drive - 450miles - for work, I hate it when he has to drive so far so had asked to for an update. I replied thanks for letting me know.

This is H/W stuff not "early relationship" stuff.
I am not sure I am making much sense
BUT I want this time to be different so that if we are going to call it a day, it happens before I'm sucked back in.

I also need help to not get attached to these texts and what they might mean as that happened in Aug and then he disappeared...

I guess I can't suddenly go dark now but I can choose to text only when I get one from him?

Thanks all
Tumbling
