Hi Teak,

Yeah finally all the pieces of the puzzle seem to fit. He sent few texts on Saturday, today asking for a call, told him i am free only on the weekends. I did not send him the link nor planning anytime, its useless. Smart enough to understand it but would come up with his usual mask. One more thing i forgot to add : He doesn’t follow this contact timings when he is in my home city or when he is traveling .. he ll try to be in constant touch .. pics from airport, flight, hotel room, restaurant, shares location too .. so now i come back to my original suspicion ..he might be living with someone and trying to protect her feelings.  Behaves like he works in army, leaves office at the same time everyday ..not even few mins late. If i keep him talking , he will stay back to talk and goes home ..but never extends that. There are numerous times he would say i miss u while leaving to home . I could never understand why cant he talk from home if he is missing, who is stopping him. Both of us are adults and not committed to anyone else. I am relieved to finally gain some strength to put my boundaries in place and continue to do so. Thank you very much.

Teak, regarding soothing my inner child, i am definitely going to try it, doesn’t seem easy though. Right now i am still clueless how and where to start from, reading about it.

Thanks a ton for putting a perceptive to my confusions. There’s much to be done from my end.
