Thornton, coming off your thread, I also feel discarded. For awhile the analogy that seemed fitting was that I felt like I was living in a box in the corner of a room that H never goes in and only opens the box every so often to make sure the thing in it was still alive...or whatever. That was back when he contacted me more frequently. Now, I think he's moved more stuff into the room and stacked some boxes on top of me. Or to summarize, extreme compartmentalizing.
Leaves me wondering the same things as you due to lack of interaction:
Does he even miss me? Did he forget about me? He must be having a blast since this is what he's been wanting for so long. Is he in love with OW?
