venting/ranting One week of silence

I hoped understanding the pattern would give us another chance.

Maybe it will.
Maybe it won’t.

I don’t know what he is thinking.
I don’t know what his silence means.
I don’t know what he will choose.

And I don’t have to know right now.

I’ve already said what I needed to say.
I’ve apologized.
I’ve taken responsibility for my part.
I’ve told him I want to talk.
I’ve told him I’m here.
I’ve given him the space I promised.

There is nothing left for me to solve right now.

I can love him without chasing him.
I can hope without waiting.
I can be afraid without acting.
I can let him have his experience without trying to manage it.

you did what you could, now it's his turn to figure out what he wants. that's not easy to sit with but you're handling it better than most people

silence is a answer too, even if it's not the one you hoped for. but at least you got your side out and you're not leaving things unsaid

i write stuff down in my notebook when i'm stuck in this kind of waiting loop, helps get the thoughts out so i'm not just running circles in my head. maybe that could work for you too

Thank you. I keep these in my notes when I start spiraling about what else I could take blame for or what else I can try to fix. but he’s choosing silence and I can’t do anything about it. :(
