Ok, so curious here. My new GF, 2 months, travels a lot. She is a grad student, we are both 40's. she left for just over 2 weeks to Africa for a project and did not have wifi. so I receive very few messages and they are short, when she can jump on the one computer. So I did ask her if she has any more of these long trips planned and she said no. So here it is...We seem a perfect fit, we are really falling for each other. I missed her tremendously, and this last weekend was really tough on me. Now yesterday something turned off. I don't care anymore! She will be back in 2 days, but I am very indifferent and no longer see her as special and safe. I may be a bit needy, but I also know I am as nuts as any other divorced person. Now I do have PTSD from my military service, I feel this causes me to turn off to protect myself. So question is, have any of you experienced this? I may see her and it will all fall back into place, or this may be a defense mechanism. I am new to this so please any experience and insight is valued.
