So I'm coming up on 30 days of DBing (LRT) nearly by the book. No ILY, no IMY, no initiated calls, no R talk. As you may know, there is an OM involved in my sitch. WAW has been gone for 45 days. Bomb dropped about 60 days ago.
Is it odd that in 30 days of no R talk initiated by me, the W also has not brought up the R subject? I would've thought that it may have come up by now.
She may be so involved with OM at this point that she's not giving it a 2nd thought. It seems odd that she still hasn't wanted to talk about it. In our last R talk, I made it clear that I disagreed with her decision of wanting a D - and I told her that no matter how we interact (calls, meetings, emails, etc), that there is nothing she can do or say that'll give me any false hope. That my hope will come only if she specifically says she wants to try to work it out. I was trying to give her justification for staying in touch at that point - without feeling the guilt.
I remain dark. We talk around once a week - mostly business - but a little "whatcha been doing". By the book, it's upbeat. I try to be vague, but I do slip there. I also try to refocus on her and validate her when I can.
What I wonder is:
1. Have I given too much space that she has written this M off as done? Or is 30 days of no R talk expected considering the OM?
2. I was always pretty reserved with sharing my emotions during M, so does she see this (no R talk by me) as "more of the same" behavior?
I'm trying to evaluate progress - but I'm stumped.
