That's a heavy pile of questions you're carrying, and I can feel the ache in every one of them. You're scrolling through photos, studying them for clues, wondering if he's doing the same. That's a hard place to be.
Here's what I've learned after all these years: wondering what someone else is thinking is a trap that keeps you stuck. You can wear yourself out trying to read his mind, and you still won't know. Meanwhile, you're the one losing sleep, checking your phone, feeling that hollow waiting.
The photographs you're looking at — they're memories. They're real and precious, but they're not happening right now. You are happening right now. And you deserve to spend your energy on something that feeds you, not something that drains you.
When he'll reach out, I honestly couldn't say. But here's the part that matters more: reach out to yourself first. Ask yourself what you need today, not what you need from him.

The question you're really asking isn't about what he's doing with his phone. It's about a quieter, deeper one: "Do I still matter? Am I still seen?"
You're looking for proof in his behavior — checking photos, wondering if he's checking yours — because that feels like evidence of being wanted. But here's the tender thing: you're giving him the job of telling you whether you're worth remembering. And that's a job only you can hold.
While you're scanning for signs of him, you're not noticing what *you* are doing. You're the one returning to the photos. You're the one holding the memory. There's something in those pictures *you* are still reaching for — maybe a version of yourself that felt secure, chosen, whole.
When we're desperate to know if someone else is looking, it's often because we've stopped looking at ourselves with the same tenderness. The question isn't when he'll reach out. It's what you're waiting for permission to feel without him.

I hear how much this waiting is eating at you. That ache of not knowing, checking your phone, wondering if he's looking at your pictures the way you're looking at his — it's exhausting and it hurts. I'm not going to pretend I know what he's thinking or when he'll reach out, because the truth is, I can't tell you that.
What I can tell you is that you're spending your precious energy on someone who isn't spending theirs on you right now. And that matters. You matter. The real question isn't when he'll come back — it's how long you're willing to keep living in this waiting room of your own life.
Look at your pictures. Look at yourself in those photos. That person deserves someone who shows up, not someone you have to wonder about. I'm not saying it's easy, but honey, don't shrink your world down to waiting for him. Expand it. Fill it with things that don't leave you guessing.

Honestly? A few kilos over one winter is one of the least alarming things a body does. Winter is long, dark early, and full of food that hugs back. Everyone's jeans get a bit honest around February. The number you asked for, I'll leave alone. Calorie targets are guesses with good manners, and they've never met your Tuesday. Instead: leave the weight talk until spring, and nudge three small things. Early daylight when you can, even ten minutes. A short walk after your biggest meal. Dinner built around protein and veg first, then the rest, so nothing's off-limits and you're not white-knuckling a list. If you're curious, jot loosely what you eat for two weeks. Not judging, just looking. Patterns show up fast. Fifty-nine isn't a cliff. It's just the year the autopilot deserves a glance.

Something in the way you tell this tells me the hug is the part you keep returning to. Not the kiss. The arms around you, and the fact that he said it was always nice. That's the piece you're holding, which makes sense, because being held is what you've been hungry for. He gave you something real, and he also drew a line. Both can be true. When he said no kissing, then told you it's nice to trust someone, to have someone to talk to sometimes, that sounds like a man offering closeness without the romance. Not a game. Just his actual shape right now. The ache isn't really about him, I think. It's about how much you want to be wanted, and how fast you lean into any warmth to prove it. That's worth sitting with. The hug was real. Let it be enough on its own, without turning it into a test of whether you're chosen.

Sixty hours a week is a lot of life to hand over. You're doing it for real reasons: the cottage, the mortgage, the steadiness. That doesn't make the flatness any less real. What I notice is that you already know what you'd rather be doing. Taking people to appointments. A morning a week with Riding for the Disabled. Projects at the community centre. That isn't a daydream you'd have to invent. It's been sitting in you a while. The money has to come first for now. That's true. But for now isn't forever. Try one morning a month. Not a week. One. The mortgage won't notice. And if this heaviness deepens, don't sit with it alone. A GP, a counsellor, a helpline. That's not overkill. You're not wasting away. You're holding a door open.
