I think as long as you've been not sending them too frequently, and they've been actually only periodic, what you've been doing is the correct response. Personally, I'd not be doing it only "periodic" and they'd be way too frequently, but that's because the sudden cut-off would be pushing me toward...

I really want to thank everyone who has replied to me, you've all offered thoughtful opinions, ideas, and suggestions. I felt like I had nowhere to turn, as people around me never understood our relationship in the first place. I dont' work in the summer months... so I've had way too much free time ...

I never knew how to end a relationship so I would just completely cut off/ignore the person till they went away. Might be what he's doing. Oh boy, you just hit the nail on my biggest fear.

Hi, this is my first time here. I'm hoping to gain some insight into the mind of my 30 yr old AS bf. He has shut down and cut all communication with me. His last words were loving... no dispute or changes happening between us. I suspect that he's overwhelmed with a recent move, money/job issues, com...
