Interesting stuff about expectations, for me when I've had expectations it's almost like H has gone out of his way to confound them. Does he sense my positive expectations and push back against them?

Well, that sounds lovely, 97Hope, I'm actually really jealous. What I wouldn't give for a cuddle on the sofa right now. Do you think he was behaving this way because he thought you WERE moving on? Maybe you'll never know. Keeping things light and fun sounds like a nice way to be for now though, as long as he doesn't now pull back, that seems to be my H's modus operandus. Be miserable and not very pleasant one day, text me a lot the next day, text nothing the following day. Push and pull, keeping me dangling just the right distance away.
