Thanks Sandi,

In contrast to your past situation from being on the "other side", BD for me was end of May. I pursued like crazy for about 6 weeks and broke every one of your 37 rules, some multiple times until I found this site. Since just before they left for vacay at the end of July I totally withdrew and went dark. I didn't communicate with her at all while she was there (I did send a text when they were at the AP leaving saying to keep everyone safe and that I loved her, couldn't help it, nothing since then, I went dark). At the AP last night I was very distant, maybe too distant but certainly a huge contrast since before they left. I will continue to only communicate if it is for the kids and that is it.

Question for you - will this make any difference? what should I do if she starts asking me questions? Knowing her, she could last forever without talking to me for all I know. She is very tough.
