I feel like its back firing because he's not at all intrigued by my sudden detachment. More like he's annoyed. He keeps asking me what my problem is and it makes him angry
No, actually this means it is working. Keep at it or even step it up a notch. Grab some girlfriends and go on some girl's nights out. Men hate those. It makes them feel insecure. If you don't have girlfriends in your new town, then make some. That's pretty easy to do. Go to a zumba class, book club, or a women's meetup group. They're everywhere.
