then, WHAM, the roller coaster takes a plunge. Not sure what triggers it normally. This time though I feel it is because the interactions lately have been very warm between us. Makes me want to reach out with a "I miss you" or "Thinking of you."
It sounds to me like the roller coaster dip is due to your own expectations that things might be getting better but then you realize you're really in the same old holding pattern. I went through a lot of that myself. That's why detaching is so critical, because you have to release those expectations completely before you can move on.

I know we are not supposed to do any temperature checks, but I really want to know how see is feeling about me/us?
Everyone says not to, but after 5-1/2 months I decided I wanted to know. The answer was about what you'd expect- "I'm still confused, I don't know what I want, I need more time and space." I'm not sure I agree with everyone else that we should NEVER do a temperature check, but don't expect any revelations.
