Hi Lex, I completely understand the uncomfortable feeling of doing things on your own. WH and I were the same way - EVERYTHING until recently was done together. Maybe that's part of the problem? I also have solo plans for the 1st time this weekend and I'm actually sick to my stomach over it. But it's a positive step and you will get through it.
As for calling her back - she didn't leave a message asking for something so I wouldn't. Part of going dark, right?
I wish I had the option of ML with WH. I think it's a great thing - good way to build feelings and stay connected. I'm not sure I would initiate it - but I wouldn't stop it from happening.
I stayed strong and didn't call back. It was surprisingly difficult. It's funny but I am feeling better than I have in the whole 10 months but at the same time I have some anxiety about going out on my own. funny eh? of all the things to be worried about that is the thing today. It's much more manageable than the state I have been in usually though.
