[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 488503"] It's so good that you recognize that you are holding on to intense anger. It's normal to be hurt. If you aren't doing so already, you might consider seeing a counselor to help you get through this. Also, it's FABULOUS that you are getting a break from all the chaos. ENJOY! Rediscover what you need and enjoy and go for it! Take all the time you need. I agree, you certainly do not have to respond to his every request. But, if he is being appropriate AND if it does not cause you any problems to be responsive, those might be good times to respond. It would provide positive reinforcement...encouraging him...gently letting him know that goodness is rewarded. This does NOT mean you want lots of "together time." In fact, it kinda sounds like this separateness is a good thing. But, [U]now and again[/U], [U]IF he is being appropriate AND it wont put you out[/U], it would probably be wise to respond ([U]while still maintaining your distance[/U]) to [U]appropriate[/U] requests so that he knows what genuine/honest/good give and take relationships look and feel like.
