I've read on other threads that it is beneficial to poke your head up every now and again, make contact and measure the result. Almost seems like temperature taking to me, but only through trying new things and seeing what works can we make progress. I really don't think anyone envisioned DBers staying completely dark for months, if not years, without looking for some feedback.
Like all things DB, we need to be patient and observe the results of our efforts. I don't believe we should jump at the first opportunity for contact with an overeagerness that could drive the WAS away again. We need to take it slow, try new things, drop what doesn't work and most of all be a true friend with our S. Obviously, some contact is necessary for us to remain friends. Darkness, however, plays a role in relieving the WA's stress and giving them time to work through deciding what they want.
