SA, Those dots behind statements is his thought process. My xh use to do that so much it drove me nuts.
I think the reason he keeps the bills in his name is because it's his last string (connection) to your apron. He still wants some control over you life and he wants to appear to be your rescuer. He doesn't like it that you are able to go on and survive w/o him.
Another reason is that he's not matured enough to figure out how to change them over to your name. My xh did the same, but when I explained to the companies what was going on, they were more than happy to change them over, especially when I told them that with him acting out, they not ever get paid.
Why now? Because he's settled down a bit in his journey. When they are super angry, they are like brats who will lash out at you at every turn. Once they settle down a bit, and especially when you leave them totally alone w/little or no contact, that's when they come out to play and offer assistance, such as in your case. Not all of them do this.
It's all about control from afar. He doesn't want to me w/you and yet, he doesn't want to let you go completely. Good luck over the break in getting the change overs completed.
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.
