Does playing hard to get really work?

Husband left 2 weeks ago and up until 2 days ago I was crying and asking him to come home everytime I seen him and talked to him pretty much. I decided since he left our family, myself and our 4 month old son, that he should be the one to realize he has made the mistake and want to come home, I shouldn't be trying to change his mind. So I have stopped texting him and stopped calling him, and if he texts me I wait awhile to answer. I have done almost a 360 from what I was doing. Will this eventually get him thinking about why I am not begging him to come home anymore? Will he start to wonder if he made the right choice, thinking that I am no longer wrapped around his finger and he may lose me? He knows I love him and want him to come home, I don't tell him otherwise, but I am not doing the whole needy crying thing anymore, I am playing it cool and acting like I am doing alright. So does playing hard to get make him rethink what he's doing and start coming back after me again?
