My husband and I have not talked in over 4 months. The road that got us where we are today is very long and complicated. He has been living in another state because of a job he took 3 years ago. Our R has been rocky for about the past year. We have also had previous issues in our M about 12 years ago. I actually used DB during that time and we were able to get through it.
Just wondering if I should try to begin a conversation with him or wait for him to make the first move. In the past 4 months, I have texted him twice and left one VM on his phone, but he hasn't responded. He sent me an email in April after he signed our tax documents that said he was going to call me in a couple of days because it was time for us to "sort things out". I never answered that email and he never called me. It is now almost the end of May.
There is one additional time that he sent an email to me and our children to let us know that his dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I answered that email by saying how sorry I was for his news and to let me know if there was anyway I could help. So I know he has a lot on his plate right now.
He talks to our kids and they told me that he is going to be traveling overseas for his job and will be gone for about 6 weeks. Should I try to contact him before he leaves or should I wait for him to contact me?
Has anyone gone dark for a long period of time? Just don't want to be doing something that is not working, yet haven't gotten a response previously when I tried to make contact.
