It's been 8 days now, and both our birthdays (we're about 3 days apart in age) have come and gone. I ended up choosing not to call him -- I think that was the best choice for me. Regardless, he hasn't called me either... so this marks the longest we've gone without talking to each other since we got together. He's texted me once to ask about the D, and nothing from him since then.
On the one hand, I think this radio silence stuff is giving me a chance to regain my dignity -- I've spent the last few months chasing hard. On the other, I'm getting really bummed because this feels like game playing on both our ends -- and also (I recognize that this is mindreading on my part) I'm starting to feel like this is a punishment for me hanging up on him when he started yelling at me. :-/
In this type of situation do I just keep on focusing on GAL and my own 180s, while letting him take the lead re: communication?
So far I've... 1. been hanging out a lot with fam -- that's hard to do when you're part of a military couple, so it's been amazing to get reacquainted with my sister and parents.
2. been working out more -- I've lost about 10 pounds
3. emailed my advisor to find out what I need to do to finish my degree -- I should be able to walk in Dec of 2013
