Bright, I really don't know anymore. I don't think he would have left a message had it been a pocket dial. I was just surprised. It's been five months since we've talked on the phone. I just realized that I had to count that out on my fingers, making some progress!

Didn't we just discuss how the connection is too strong for them to sever, a safe port in their self imposed storm? LOL
Yes, NLT - we did! Did we send a cosmic message do you think? I literally have done nothing with regard to the sitch - all up to him right now. But too funny!
Hey Nero (have you opened a new thread?) I don't think you are wrong. Assuming he meant to call, it was a chink in the armour. It is not as if we are in constant (or any!) contact at all. Isn't it funny that your H won't leave messages? This MLC thing really does bring out some strange patterns. I wonder if there was no message because there would be a loss of control over the situation (or a perceived loss of control)? Heaven forbid I call when he's with the GF.
Thanks Snodderly. You always have a good perspective. Parent is doing great but makes a grumpy patient. Sent the cat over there for company. Didn't go over too well, WHOOPs! I am actually doing fine. Managed to make it three weeks without any funerals or someone landing in Hospital (knock on wood) and I am catching up at work which has been my biggest challenge through all of this.
I am getting better and better and that is why I am so wary of these contacts. I have now become too cynical that he called to tell me that he really misses me, he was all wrong and will make it up to me. The worst part is, even if he did say those things, I wouldn't believe him. How sad is that?
So the vote is for deliberate phone call to touch base. I think Snodderly, you may be on to something regarding the long weekends. Last long weekend was the last text exchange.
I don' have any expectations that he will or won't call again. In fact, it occurred to me that if and when I do speak to him, I have as much to say about MY changes as he does his. I may not tell him about my changes but I will know about them and that makes me feel more in control. It feels too soon to talk to him, if that makes any sense at all.
