Thanks FY, she did communicate and she did come back. Though we have had good times since her last trip, she is more distant.
I've got to work on letting her go.
Mine is still distant too. It seems to vary in intensity, but never goes away. I figure I'm not bailing on her, (for quite a while anyway) so I just deal with it and try to make the best of it. Pretty much just do my thing. I hope you're not walking around on eggshells.
She is also planning a trip with single GF in about two weeks. I hope they have fun! She will send me a couple emails to let me know how things are going, and then when she gets home, tell me all about it and show me pics.
Is there a project at home you can do to keep busy while she's gone? Re-decorate a room, plant the garden or something that she's bound to notice? That's what I like to do when mine is gone. Surprise her and let her know I'm not just moping around.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
