Hope,

Please, from this day forward, do not email, call or text message him. He's in a funk and doesn't want to be bothererd w/anyone or anything. The holidays are a depressing time for them, just as they are for us. However, we can handle the situation much better because our coping skills are better and yes, we have support teams all over the place.

You've had your feelings hurt this morning, this should be a good reminder not to contact him again, if you get the itch to call him. Leave him alone! He doesn't want to deal w/life in general.

Hope, I know you love this guy and you want to reconcile, but it's not going to happen any time soon. The more you try to reach out to him, the harder he's going to pull and push you away.

It's time for you to keep the focus on you and your holiday plans. Leave your h out there to sit in a funk all alone in the house. He'll figure things out in his own time.

BTW, if you do happen to send him packages or letters in the future, request "tracking". You can then track them by a tracking code and then you won't have to subject yourself to his rude remarks by tracking them online.

Your expectation level is still set at medium to high for him. Drop it back to zero. Don't expect a card, gift or any type of acknowledgement from him during this time. It's evident that he wasn't planning to let you know about the delivery of your package to him for a while. He's too down in the mouth to care about anyone's feelings but his own.

Hope, do something nice for yourself today and do not contact him again! Leave him out there to twist in the wind for a very long time.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
