I have tried to impose a midnight curfew as well. Hard to do.
So, I have a question. I did send a short response to his text. I feel that since contact is so infrequent, I really can't play the missed contact game. At least not until I am totally done with this.
I wonder what is the point of these contacts? I said I was busy and I asked him how he was - no response as yet. There might not be one. I read that they do this to reassure themselves that we are still there. But is there a point? Even as I answered, I was rolling my eyes because I really have no expectations of a response.
The thing is, I am finding these random little touches kind of annoying. Do they have anything to do with convincing themselves that I am still the same? That any time they feel like it, I will still be there? Or is it to prove somehow that what they did was not so bad, since I am responding?
It's all so strange. But I am starting to look at this situation through a window, at least on my good days. I responded and then hopefully can put it away. Life is full of things to do and my list is long.
