I have pulled back, too, and the response has been silence. He will have to contact at some point, because he only took his clothes when he left-- nothing else.
I also understand he has a right to be angry- I'm angry. I think our positive interaction last week tweaked him off- like "why now"?
This stuff is horrible, isn't it? That's why I titled my post "wouldn't wish this on anyone".
I also am totally not attracted to my H right now- there's nothing attractive about who he has been for the past year! It kind of helps detach a bit...
I helps me to write things down. Try it! I'm about to make a list of all his ugly qualities...I'll keep it hidden away for awhile just for my eyes so I can pull it out and remind myself for comfort. Then I'll rip it up.
It works!!! It really does. I never used to journal until recently. Wish I had started years ago!!
Hang in there...
