He said he’d call. That was 3 weeks ago. Now what?

For one year now my dance partner and I have been dancing and about nine months ago we became intimate. We had a lot of fun together and began making plans to take a few vacation days together. The last we spoke was on the phone three weeks ago when he said he would give me a call. He followed that conversation with a text saying Thanks for the well-wishing and he would give me a call. So I waited for a call. I am trying to keep my head clear of stories and worst case scenarios, but this is so completely not like him that I am left wondering what to do next. I am trying to remain relaxed about it and not attract to myself all the images that pass my thoughts, but how can I quiet this tumble of emotions? I sent an email Monday, and today a text that said “I miss you.” I’ve never had no response from him before and am now so confused. Peace? Yeah, I need some of that!!!!

 

Treating people like adults can be a hard transition if we’ve spent our entire lives taking care or being taken care of. And silence is hard to interpret without going to the worst case scenario.
