I think it did help, having some days without the daily grind, and what really helped is not getting totally rejected by him last night or this morning. I know! that's not detached at all. And now I need to back off a little on the physical side, hugs, etc. and let him wonder what's up, and stay happy while I'm doing it, or not doing it.

The hard part is planning to be together while preparing for the opposite. Yikes!
