I woudln't say it ruined anything, but it does send a mixed message is all.. easily reparable... nothing to sweat over...

I would'nt worry about it, but I would simply reccomend not taking his calls anymore.. it just promotes contact with him and you are tryign to minimize that... I suspect he's leaving his calls going there for the exact reason we are suggesting they be redirected... so he can maintain connection and contact...

Easy to fix..any calls that come in, just update them with the new number... your H will find he's getting all his calls directly now and he will get the not so subtle hint that his calls are not welcome at home
