The View from the Blanket II

[labug]

I was going to respond with something very much like this:

In other words, IDK if this is a "typical" WAS behavior or not, but my point is that perhaps your H's lack of response doesn't really have anything to do with his feelings or interest in the kids and more about a behavior / habit he has developed in regards to his communication with you and perhaps others as well.

I guess that is just a long-winded way of saying that we don't really know why he didn't respond and in the end, it doesn't matter why he didn't respond.

We tend to attach meaning to behavior we don't understand but that meaning comes from us and our experience, our needs. As k_g said, we don't really know why he doesn't respond.

If you just want him informed or what's going on with the kids, it shouldn't matter. You sent the text and if he looked at it he knows.

Our expectations and our needs not being met is what we are left to deal with and it hurts to realize we aren't in a R where the father of our children wants to respond and share in those moments with us.

Be clear with yourself about your goal in sending the texts.

This is all difficult stuff and working through it as you are doing is the only way to move forward.
