Just a quick update on my sitch, experimenting with going dark. Last night H text me to ask me if I was going to stop not trusting him and stop accusing him of things he hasn’t done (which I never did). And the nerve of him when he is lying to me! I didn’t reply to any of it and simply went through the evening reading and going to bed. Normally, I would feel the need to reply and justify. Usually, when we are apart, we talk for a few hours of a night on the phone and say goodnight when things are good and he is in the M. I have been going to bed early all week and ignored his texts even if he saying goodnight.

This morning I was feeling low and obsessed with it all so I got reading on the Beginner’s links and cheat sheets and read them all. I decided to validate his comments via text and wrote:

I am sorry that what was said made you angry (when I asked about his baited texts from yesterday teasing me about flirting with someone)… It was uncalled for to ask questions over some silly texts. I really hope the sale goes well today.

Here is my win with going dark and validating (a text from H)

So do I. Thanks x

He has not signed off on a kiss with texts for years except when he is saying goodnight and in the M.

Who hoo!
