He maintains that I have a low E.Q. which I think is not untrue and he has had a few times where he wanted to block me but hasn't because he knows I "don't have a mean bone in my body,". It very interesting dealing with a partner who has their emotions flying in the breeze. There is no passive in his aggressive. He is a control freak like Prof who just doesn't get why people don't function in the same way they do and gets really frustrated with what is pretty in the normal range of human behavior.
Prof has been all text chatty on his latest trip. I have not been initiating chat at all but he is regularly sending pics and chat. I have been reading a few articles on "high functioning anxiety" and my word but a lot of the traits are found in Prof.
My take on all of this is to once again back off. I will put out invites and ideas but won't ask repeatedly for participation. I am still a bit nervous about travelling by myself, which is incredibly sad considering the places around the world that I have been to and lived in by myself. I'll think more about that. I am really backing off from all round texting. Work is slowing down with my imminent departure so I am not on my phone all the time. Mr PoD got his knickers in a twist when I didn't respond to a text for about 5 hours. I have created a real expectation in people for very prompt replies, no more will I do that people, no more! Well, not so much
