My WH stopped by to mow and pay bills. I was gone and have not spoke with him in a week. I didn't expect him to leave anything but found the following short note:
If you need anything or want to talk, please call.
I think he expected me to be at home. NC means NC. Do you think this is his guilt?

yeppers! Sit back and watch the show. It is basically scripted. And when you continue to not respond, he will probably use something negative to goad you into contact (like a two year old may misbehave to get negative attention...good practice for you for when you are a mother). I had it, Tinman had it, and I promise you it will happen with you soon enough...

But no contact also means not allowing him to come over and do things for you. That will only help him feel better about what he is doing, durham. I would email him and tell him to please stop coming over and to respect your PBL.

Have the intermediary say it. An email from her is what he wants.

hey durham, he's trying to make himself feel better in everything he does. i would second the suggestion about having the intermediary tell your H that he is not to come over or respect your PBL. keep up the good work and continued prayers to you.
