"Going dark is the chance to work on you and to allow the spouse that left you to go through the journey they need to go through. If you start butting into that when they have made it clear that they don't want to be with you, then you come off as someone who is not honoring their request. You are short-circuiting the journey they have to go through to work out what is going on inside themselves."

I cut this out of the going dark thread and added this as part of my journalling.
This is my process right now. She asked for space and stated she doesnt know what she wants so i think going dark shows ive taken it on board and it lets her process her own thoughts.
