Sometimes when NG pulls a reaction similar to one he did during the a, I just find myself spinning into an emotional abyss.
It was a rough weekend, with me wanting more attention, and him just not being in the mood. My suspicions that he was back in contact with ow were at the root of this latest episode. Nothing more than NG wanting some space, and I'm immediately in lala land
It's like an express train, isn't it?
I can totally relate...and you captured it perfectly with your first paragraph...any behaviors that resemble "that time" can bring it all back.
I've been doing some data collection turns out that when h isn't feeling well physically and/or when he's stressed about something he withdraws in a way that is reminiscent (yah, I know, stating the freaking obvious). Anyway, it builds my repertoire of possible "reasons". Even better, though, is when I can stop looking for "answers" and just let him be. Ya know?
