Sounds like S. has the same disease (or is it I who has it?). Goes hand in hand with stonewalling at something when you ask for it, then days later doing that very thing (because it's HIS idea).
There's one thing you said in your last thread I wanted to comment on. S. and I go through phases of pullbacks when we've been spending a lot of time together (we usually have a big one on return from Vermont, where we are alone and isolated for days at a time with no friends, neighbors, TV, telephone, etc.). If you know this is going to cause some sort of friction, why not take a Time Out yourself? (not a Time Out London! )
This is something I need to work on. I usually just take all the time I can with S. and then get disappointed and hurt when he pulls back, causing friction, causing a fight, days to get back to normal, and the cycle continues...
