[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 678195, member: 19905"] Sometimes silence is bliss. Silence means there is no drama. No arguments. No blame. No requests. No guilt trips. I may be horrid, but I look forward to silence - because it is a brief reprieve from all of the chaos. My advice? Enjoy it. Don't continue to try to make contact. You are letting him know how much it bothers you so that when he does call, you will be more vulnerable to giving in. Don't give him that power. Put the ball in his court. Enjoy the peace for awhile. He is ok. You are ok. Because he will call when he is ready or when he needs something. And I bet he acts like nothing happened and follows it up with needing something. Mine does it all the time. By not reacting, you take some of your power back. It doesn't mean you don't love him. It just means that you are honoring his choice to have no contact and not trying to force it. [/QUOTE]
