Soooo, as I pull away, I see (as you've pointed out several times) that he is doing a bit of chasing.
Texted 5/4 bc of carpooling to S bday dinner. Radio silence for both of us until his Mother's day wishes on 5/12. I didn't entertain him and merely provided the "TY" response. Heard from a friend that H had a rough weekend and I secretively celebrated with mixed emotions - need him to find rock bottom and miss me while being heartbroken and crying. So as I reach for my phone this morning, there's another text from H that wishes me luck with a medical exam today and to let him know how it turns out. I break down in tears of relief, anger, excitement and confusion.

What do you see from your view? What's going on with H? I sense a little chasing and loneliness which tells me my efforts may be rendering some results. Not popping the champagne yet! Do I respond? If so, what do I say? When do I respond?
