I got a little distracted studying communications and decided to drop her one of my monthly sms asking about her well-being and wishing her a good night's sleep about 24hours back. I cannot exactly remember the time but it wasn't late to begin with. Like Many of the gazillion text messages i sent her, she hasn't even replied any since a good one year ago. Ok yes, thats stage nine of Knapp's model, avoiding me (Im obviously not avoiding her) giving the "hint".
She has sealed the channel of communication from me in more ways than one. Not a single word despite one of those lovey dovey stupid boxes that contains goods seeking one's atttention and reconcilation appearing at her doorstop about a month back.Well, to be honest, i fear this..........whatever you wished to call it....is already one and a half foot in Stage 10. No calls, emails, letters, or even replies. Guess that qualifies for stage 10 doesn't it? A capsized boat in the Bermuda triangle, at least from my point of view. I could also link this relationship disengagement strategy to behavioural de-escalation; totally avoiding contact from me.
I'm gonna leave you people here,silence isn't that golden afterall is it?
The Cold ShoulderThe anxiety of waiting for a text you know will never come is excruciating for one's soul. Believe me, espeically if a text comes from another in the midst of your wait.
