This isn't giving me space is it?

See previous thread... here

So Dp has gone to his mums but is still messaging me all the time and keeps 'liking' old pictures of me/us on Facebook. That's not really giving me space is it? He is telling me he hasn't slept at all and now has to work a long shift. He says he just wants to come home. Its only been one night!

Hi moon

That was a really brave step to take, sometimes fear is all about expecting pain to come to us in some way, and the relief we feel afterwards can be like an adrenaline rush.

Making these kind of decisions straight off the bat is you actually listening to your instincts, the more you take notice of these the less you will be steered in to bad situations.

Any fall out from him is a show of his manipulation and loss of control over you and the situation. Stand strong lovely you will get through this.

Thanks :) it was a huge relief, even if I have only stalled him. I said I needed more time to think about it and I told him it was really bothering me. He was a bit pissed off as it looked like i was messing him about but he wasn't too bad. He said he will play it how I want to. I hope he doesn't give me too much grief ovet it.

Any tips on staying strong? I am missing all the good things we used to have together. Night times on my own are the hardest. It was meant to be our anniversary yesterday :(

And also, he is being really nice to me and has apparently started doing yoga, meditating and going for runs(!) Is this normal behaviour?!

yes, very normal. It will change again when it doesn't work in 5 min.
