This has helped me SO much since you wrote & explained it AnotherStander "all reaching out does is make the LBS look weak, pathetic and desperate to the WAS".
It has saved me already Numerous times when I have gotten the urge to send a text to my WAH, esp last night when I was dwelling on the fact that this would be my first mothers day without getting a card from my dogs - so I kept my fingers off my phone and my WAH actually texted me first thing this morning Happy Mother's Day. I remained calm and texted thank you & I would be out of the house for the next several hours if he needed to pick up any of his stuff.
So I went to church, went to Bible study, drove around for a while, then drove home & my WAH was at the house cutting the lawn. I did not go running over to talk or follow or cry or anything. I just got my 2 dogs & walked them right past my lawn cutting (prob guilty lawn cutting LOL) WAH and down the road. All I kept thinking was I am NOT going to LOOK weak, pathetic OR desperate to my WAH - SO THANK YOU!
So it's crazy but he was still at the house when I came back from my dog walk - I just thanked him for the grass cutting, told him there were drinks in the fridg if he was thirsty
And went to the backyard and phoned my girlfriend & she is good about reminding me of everything DBing because she thinks it is going to work and is facinated by it.
I am not a patient person but I am starting to see that it is the only way to go & I will be better off in the end anyway.
I am afraid to say I am just a little happy for the first time in a long long time that Today I was NOT weak, pathetic or desperate to my WAS OR TO MYSELF!
Wow, Thank you again AnotherStander!
