In the amount of time he texted you, he could have changed the message himself. Even though he says he hates the business, he still wants to have some control over things. He still likes to tell you what to do. Another thought flitted through my mind and that is he wanted to remind you in his own sick way that he wasn't w/you this holiday.
Mlcers like and want control over everything, even things and people that they don't want in their lives any longer. This is where you will need to gently take back the control over your life and do the things that you need to do to carry on the business and also at home.
Mlcers tend to set up reminders on holidays, anniversaries, and special events just to remind us that they aren't w/us. They want us to remember them and yes, make us as miserable as they are. On that note, I would stop worrying about what he's doing and live my life to the fullest.
Mlc is not confusing once you've figured out that they brains are scambled and they are operating on pure emotions.
Enjoy your day and get in another bike ride!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
