I am pulling away from a girl to keep her from thinking I’m too invested. I’m doing this to maintain interest and keep her guessing. I am generally very busy with my career. I’m 27 and she is 24 if that makes a difference. I am affectionate in person but not so much in texts, even less so now.
I will ignore the text for a few hours, then get back to her. How do I respond to this in a nonchalant way that diffuses the situation and makes her think nothing is going on?
Can’t put attachments so here is her text:
“I understand that you are tired but the way you have been distant makes me feel disconnected. I am your partner, not someone who has to guess how you feel. I am not blaming you but I can’t pretend I don’t notice the distance”
Thanks!
