Don't know if im on the edge anymore or not....

I guess it could be mind reading but do you have another way to interpret:

I guess I was so used to hearing from you that it's been weird not hearing from you.

Without looking into why she might miss me or what she intends to do about it (if anything) - which would be mind reading - i don't think there's any other way to interpret the basic message.

How does "it's weird not hearing from you" mean "I miss you?"

It could just as easily mean just what it says - "it's weird."

or, "I'm surprised you aren't pursuing me."

or, "I'm worried that you aren't on my hook anymore."

or, for all you know, "I like cheese."

IDK M. I buy into the whole don't mind read but at some level, we all have a decent understanding of some basic human interactions and I don't think turning this into a completely robotic process helps and at some point, we have to assume things. I don't think any of us expect that people are always going to tell us exactly what they feel/think in plain, unequivocal language - especially when its such an emotional topic.

I think the basic assumption we all have to make when we DB is that our WAS isn't a 'bad' person. They don't manipulate for the sheer joy of having someone on the string. They are legitimately confused and are acting on confusing thoughts/needs.

We can sit here and argue semantics but i think when you are talking about human emotions, "weird" generally means strange and perhaps uncomfortable. So she's noticing that I am not there anymore and on some level it has taken her out of her comfort zone. Again - I am not implying that it means shes ready to work on things or ready to end the A or any of that - that most definitely would be mind-reading. Her motives may be what you said - I want you to pursue me, or I want the comfort of knowing that you're there but either way her statement conveys that she's lost something and recognizes it.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with cheese.
