I'm going to reply on your thread now!

You guys have got me thinking again today. (will wonders never cease!) and I remember someone professional (who likes to really push the 'plan a/plan b' approach) saying that once they're gone it's likely that they won't come back. So, at that time I was beginning to realize that 'plan b/going dark' is more to work on myself and GAL and it isn't really meant to bring the ex back, it just makes life easier to go on w/o them. but that's my humble philosophical approach and it is all easier said than done.

Now since I am known to overanalyze everything, (& people here will realize that soon enough) I have actually been keeping score on how much communication my ex and I have. And when I don't say too much for a few days, he calls more and we have nicer conversations.

So I guess I should be changing my own thread to staying twilight instead of going dark.

and so my advise would be the same as I am hearing, keep the door open but keep moving on. Sounds like you've had a good week, and stepping back for a day or two wouldn't hurt, but don't stay away too long. Keep doing what works! Good Luck!
