Morgan - first off I think I forgot to post last time, sorry that you're in this sitch.
As for the picture - do what's right for you, not worry about manipulating him. I did the picture thing too so I know what you mean - mine came down, went back up, came down again... once I stopped and thought about what worked for ME rather than what might mess with H's head, it was much better.
As for the note I'd toss it - he knows he can put up a picture at his house if he wants. The note's more of a "jab" at him even though it's subtle.
