Thanks for this... Your description makes total sense. For me, the thing is I am able to function without texting him and thus this then tells me I shouldn't text him. By function, I mean that I can continue my day to day life. I mean yes it bothers me, I often have a very intense longing, it can oftentimes feel like it takes over my thoughts and more often than not it can also feel extremely painful but still, I function... still I continue on.....On the face of it at least I think ...
