Dinah, Echoes, Sunrise, Jello... I think you guys are probably right that he has taken a long weekend and isn't checking his email. Because I'm the only person who emails him he probably doesn't check his emails as often as I do (I typically check fairly constantly especially because my job involves my sitting in front of my computer all day).

Sigh.

But I emailed him BEFORE the long weekend WAH! So... He should have bloody well checked his email BEFORE the long weekend WAH! And... He usually tells me if he won't be able to check his email during the week (e.g., if his computer is going in for repairs or if he is having trouble with his email account etc etc etc).

I suppose I'm lucky really that he is as good about email as he is (that he doesn't mind my emailing, that he hasn't set boundaries on how often / how long the emails can be, that he answers as often as he does etc etc etc). I think I coaxed him into it, truth be told, by disclosing more intimate stuff by way of email than I typically disclose in session... He saw that there was a value indeed in getting to know my take on the session and issues arising by way of email... And I suppose I coaxed him along even further by doing my best to be willing and able to discuss in person the issues that I raise via email.

I guess we are back to expectations again... And my pain is coming from my expectations that he respond. BUT HE BLOODY WELL SHOULD RESPOND TO ME DAMMIT!!!!! I feel slightly frantic... What do I have to do to get a response out of him such that I feel like I'm connected to him instead of talking to a %#@&#! brick wall?

I can text message him... But I try and do that not too often... He doesn't seem to have set boundaries with that... But I do what I can to be as respectful with sending them as possible so that he doesn't feel the need to set boundaries with that... Maybe a sad face by txt message would be enough to encourage him to check his email... Hrm... I don't like feeling all needy and frantic like this...
