Did a week of MAJOR beta backsliding (jealousy, frame loss, etc.) with HB8/9 (LTR 4 months) after she basically moved in for 2 months. Everything was going GREAT up until that point (frequest rough sex, she was acting like a little girl in love, etc.). I gave into the beta hard & this last week she said she was staying home one night. I called her the next day and she answered the phone & told me to text her when I got home but never replied when I texted her. It's been a couple days now with no contact.

So, I obviously kind of know what happened here and need to do a better job of being proactive next time.

I know she's probably out looking for other dick & she just got off her period, so this is kind of worrying, but not much I can do about it. Right now I am going no contact while I work hard in the gym, go out with the boys, and get enough sleep. I'm doing the no contact more to catch up on gym&sleep than to get her back, but...

1.) How long should I be soft nexting? Some people say anywhere from a couple days to a week. I was thinking of waiting until I felt like myself, but I don't want to come off as butthurt or reactive (e.g. if I don't text at all)

2.) When she calls me out on it is a good response "Just been catching up on work/gym/sleep" Do I need to be more ambiguous to instill dread?
