Thanks Cali and Elsa! I really appreciate your insights.

The past week has not been going so great, however, I think I have a plan in place. I talked to my DB Coach this morning and had IC yesterday. I've been working hard on GAL and socializing more with friends and have loaded myself up with activities this weekend and have some of next week squared away too. Having stuff to look forward to definitely helps me maintain a PMA.

Like I think I said in my first post, the things that have been working for the past month in terms of bringing H and me closer together no longer seem to be working. My Coach and decided that I should go dark, so no more initiating social activities with H and even if he were to initiate I am going to decline. When I go to the house to get more of my stuff, I'm going to purposely go during a time when he's not home. H has been treating me sort of as a fallback when he doesn't have anything else going on, so it's time to make him really miss me. My question for everyone is how exactly to decline? Do I simply say I'm busy? I'm assuming I shouldn't just ignore his invitations? Of course, this is presuming he'll even initiate, something he hasn't been really doing in the past month at all.
