Hi
First new relationship after divorce and separation with an EA ex who left me for an OW with two boys (2 years ago) - my ex was my only serious relationship and we got together in college.
We met online in a game we both play, he has been to me a few times and last week stayed Tuesday-Saturday. He lives approximatly 90 miles away
It is fairly new (5 months) although I have known him for a lot longer, and in all honesty he has been the one moving it along to him staying for that length of time. Not sure if relevant but left his aftershave in my bathroom and is planning on returning in a couple of weeks. We also have a holiday planned for August. He is the one who moved it from a more casual relationship to him calling me his partner...
Now up until Sunday he has been texting me a lot per day and suddenly Sunday and today next to nothing, part of my head is saying stop being so pathetic and needy and the other half says he doesnt like me/wants space.
How on earth do I stop feeling so desperate for him to be in contact with me? I am 27yrs old and behaving like a school girl. I sent a text this am (just saying hi how are you) and will not send another till after he gets in touch with me, I have the self control to do so but I am feeling anxious and it is sort of all consuming. I need to learn to chill but to me its strange after having so much contact recently, it feels like I have gone cold turkey.
Is it just that he is not that into me and I should just enjoy what happens?
