I want to thank you for the laugh when I read about her prancing like Pocahontas... I really laughed out loud
I'm not saying this to get your hopes up but this is EXACTLY what my H did before asking 'are we making a mistake'
Please don't run off to the bank with my advice as I'm emotionally unstable
BUT what I did was respond to let him know I saw the message and I was polite and gave short answers, I did not extend the conversation. He would text me things like S4 needed a new bike tire. I said yes, he will be happy to have his bike fixed. Then he would go on about how it had a nail in it and they were expensive and hard to fix but that he would take care of it yada yada, and I would reply thanks!
So I would engage but not overly, I NEVER asked him questions about his life or ANYTHING. I didn't extend the conversation, I replied to his texts and that was IT.
They became more and more frequent and I continued to do the same *while secretly getting my hopes up*
BUT also reminding myself, he is CALCULATING, not trustworthy and involved with OW.
SO please remember that, remember her for who she has been, not trusting, DO NOT let your guard down. Don't let her think for a second that you're sitting around waiting for her.
If it becomes more consistent you could experiment with continuing the conversation a little bit, and I am by no means saying be rude but just be the busy guy who is GAL. You're happy she's happy and you're happy too. You're busy and have time for people that respect you. She has to earn that back.
