Job,
I would be interested in your opinion. Initially I was inclined to revisit the conversation as it really finished abruptly and seemed unfinished.

I will continue as is for now and improve my openness to communication. We have not had any R talk since Feb 2016. Chatting made me feel like I time warped back to the beginning of my journey almost three years ago, except I am detached and she expressed an interest in more.

I feel maybe the time is right to verbalise a little of what I want or don't want. I know it is too early to roadmap our happy ever after plan, but maybe time to state that the longer I am shut out, the less I want to get back in and sooner or later I am likely to prefer to not reconnect.

I don't mean issue an ultimatum but verbalise a reality. But even without expressing myself, a conversation could be enligthning about her perspective.

Job, you have a wealth of experience observing these situations that I value your insight. Others feel free to let me know what you interpret.
