I got the text that he won't be here Friday. No reason.
That got you spinning? Boy, he has that MUCH effect on you. How is it any different than you telling him that you won't be available on, say, a Saturday.
Based on what you report before, H has mostly sat home watching TV and drinking beer. It is the likely scenario. I'm thinking he is needing a break from you as he is doing the distancing-pursuing dance. MLCers, when they feel too close to the LBS, retreat.
