RR,

Thanks for the reply! I think the IC is thinking that it would be healthier for me so that I am not subject to her whims or waiting on her communication. Honestly, at this point it is infrequent enough (unless we are exchanging emails back and forth) that I dont go around waiting for it. I imagine on my trip I will be even less tied to it.

The other thing is that I just dont know what she will have to communicate with me about, other than buying a new car and getting her apartment. The day to day stuff will certainly be less pressing with so many miles between us. I certainly hope we dont go weeks without communicating, but I feel like that is a definite possibility. Just because my wife is not crazy, not WW, I still shouldnt initiate communication at all, right?

Yeah, I'll be posting on instagram for sure. My question is if I should tell her that, since I didn't use it in the past and she wouldn't even know to look. Dunno. That one feels a little dicey to me - like I'm shouting look at me, just subtly.

Oh, I can handle the goodbye. There is no way that I am bailing on that. I will rehearse it, but I already know the attitude I am going in there with. I am sure she wont bring up any relationship stuff (although she did tell me at one point she wanted to write me a letter... ugh). It will be light and positive and all about the great trip I am about to embark on, and maybe about the 40 lbs I have lost or the climbing I have done. Friendly crap that I would talk to any friend about.

I am more worried about the nerves and anxiety on Thursday and Friday. I definitely need to make sure I exercise a ton and sleep as much as possible.
