Hey sisu, thanks for the support, I appreciate it. We had a date scheduled that he had said he was looking forward to, then he canceled a few hours before we were to go out.
From that point on, I only got the occasional e-mail with a link in it, or a picture attached -- no real communication at all and no interaction. This has been going on now for 4 weeks. Last night, I got a long e-mail about Math. This was a good sign! Hey, some gals get roses, I get ... Math.
A couple of e-mails today have been quite anecdotal as he tells me about various inconsequential things like a cell phone ring tone and what his roommate is doing. Nothing personal. Nothing like "How are you?" or "I've missed you." I've given up expecting that. As long as he's talking, that's good. And his tone is getting back to the quirky, funny, witty way he has that I love so much. So he's surfacing. Probably in a couple of days he'll be ready to have a dialogue (I hope!)
I just feel that I end up circling the airfield, never able to land during these times. Everything is on hold until he decides to move forward again. I'm not a demanding person, and I want to be supportive as he deals with this; I realize it's not under his control. But it seems like it's one step forward, two steps back, and we're losing ground.
