Day 3 of NC and I think I'm finally realizing why it's so hard for me. I only withdraw when I'm REALLY angry (and I don't get REALLY angry very often, with anyone). I think I've been projecting on my H and assuming that he must be REALLY angry, when really, withdrawing is just his natural coping mechanism for stress. He is much more introverted than me in that respect. I need to work on accepting that and not assuming that lack of contact means that he's angry and completely given up on the R.
Of course, NC is not completely NC because we still have to talk about D7 and other logistics. But, our interactions have been very limited, without any conflict or R talk. MC session on Tuesday and then dinner together on Wednesday.
