Should I tell my ww that I am going to take some time for myself and that I won't be responding?[quote]

Actions, not words. Let phone calls go to voice mail. Do not immediately respond to texts. Vague answers.


Her:"Hi, bla bla bla bla.."
You :Crickets (IE don't respond)
Her:"You OK? Bla bla bla"
You: Crickets
Her:"I am worried about you..bla bla bla"
You:Crickets.
You an hour later :"Sorry, was busy. I am OK"
Her"Bla bla bla"
You crickets.
Her"Bla bla bla"
You crickets.
Her"Bla bla bla"
You crickets.

You can post the convos her for feedback if needed...

I just don't know how to go about it when we still talk all day, hang out
Make other plans. Stop hanging out with her. Do not tell her what you are doing or planning.

Do I just start to pull away and become less available to leave her wondering?
YES.
