KG - glad that gave you a laugh! I can't tell you how many work emails I want to respond to with a GIF of that at times....alas, I'm just stuck cackling at my desk to myself.
My H never directly asked for NC/limited contact, just "space." He's isolated himself from everyone, not just me, and I wanted to make sure he knew he could call me if he needed to. He did recently say that he had wanted to, but felt it would have been hypocritical to contact me since he asked for space. Are the questions that W are texting you important? It's odd that she would just ask questions via text (even if they're little) after asking for space, but obviously I don't have all of the context so could be very incorrect.
I've had a hard time not texting goodnight to my H, too. (I do say to myself "Goodnight H I love you" aloud in bed alone which is less tragic than it sounds when I type it out). In the past several days he has dramatically increased his contact with me, and last night after a work dinner that involved a fair amount of alcohol, I'd tried to call him to tell him about this dinner. He didn't answer but wrote back that he was out w/ a male coworker and that his phone was about to die. I said nbd, nothing important (he knew I'd been at this dinner so could probably surmise that's what it was about), and then boldly said "goodnight [old not too romantic petname] [heart emoji]. I am suddenly fearing being friendzoned by my own H and felt that was a good way to gently be romantic without being pushy. He didn't respond, which is what I expected, but he did try to call me later in the night once he got home/charged his phone, but I was asleep. I am deciding to take his call as an implicit acceptance of my heart emoji LOL. In this story, I've entirely missed my point, which was, she probably misses it, too - and let her!
