WAH with one foot out the door and one in.

[V2pt0]

As expected, My H pulled back yesterday. He seemed fine in the morning. Sought me out in the morning on the patio to have breakfast. I could see more softness/vulnerability in his face. He decided to go work in the office as he is still feeling very stressed and overwhelmed by new job.

When H came home, I was already eating dinner, and I could be wrong, but almost sensed he was disappointed that I did not wait for him. I felt it was important for me to pull back and detach a little. I figure if he wants to have dinner as a couple that it should be up to him to communicate that after having been disengaged and erratic in behavior. He took the dog for a walk and them came home and ate. I was reading on sofa and chatted for a bit, but then ended convo to go take hot bath before bed. During this time he seemed to get more withdrawn and moody. When I came out of bathroom, H had gone into his room and shut door. Did not even bother to say goodnight. It is amazing, but I am sure not surprising, that we can go from have a great conversation and bit of connection the night before, to him being back to withdraw.

Some questions for vets.... I am assuming this is how this is meant to progress for now? Is it the connection that we have had making him withdraw again? Is it bad for me to pull back after we have had a good interaction?

The good news is that because I have detach emotionally his behavior did not really make me upset. I was expecting it to happen!
