I've (38F) been in a 2 year relationship with a Dismissive Avoidant (44M)...

I opened up to him emotionally on Thursday, letting him know that I missed him. I miss what we had, I missed the pet names, the phone calls... feeling wanted and desired by him. I told him that the efforts that he was putting in, I noticed.... but I just felt so disconnected to him. he shut down.. which is usual...

Friday morning he messaged me good morning.. we talked. but it was very cold. i asked him if we were "okay" he replied "I don't know" he mentioned that he was doing a lot of thinking and wondering “if it’s worth it”. I asked him what he needed from me, and he expressed time, and when asked, he gave me a timeline of "the weekend".

It’s Wednesday now, Monday is long gone. I refuse to reach out. He needed time, he can reach out when he is ready. But how long does one wait before considering it over? I have anxious tendencies, and I’m tired of looking at the chatting app. I’m tired of holding onto hope. I’m tired of wondering.

this is not the first time this has happened. back in June - I broke it off -- he didn't even have the audacity to reply, he just left me on read. and then a month later, he came back and apologized for running. he didn't know what to say, so he just hid.

When do I take no response, as a response, and how do I walk away?
