Another question I have been struggling with today.

As I detach, GAL, don't initiate calls or texts, don't initiate conversations, etc. - how do I appear to have not given up on the relationship? Or is that the strategy? Of course my fear is that she's looking for an excuse and if she sees that I've given up, that will give her the push to give up too.

Also, in preparing for the worst. How do I respond if she says she wants to move out? She'll need money for it, so she'd have to ask me unless of course she moves in with a friend. My instinct would be to say NO, not yet - let's just wait things out. But I know that must not be the best response. How should one respond to something like this?
