Yeah... it did. Because my goal was just to do my 100% to keep up the positive communication and emotional transparency I've developed with him -- 2 changes he'd wanted initially and that I needed to make -- and not backslide into where we were once upon a time. I sent it a week ago yesterday. I figure even if he never responds, I've made those changes permanent and that's what I'm showing him. And I don't doubt that he's read it. That's all I need right now, though a response WOULD be nice.

Yes, I thought he might at least do that too-- it seems weird to me. BUT I also know withdrawal is my H's way of coping with most things--something he's come to recognize himself, but doesn't seem to be changing.
It all seemed so bizarre to me that I have held off mentioning the papers to anyone in our lives yet... just on the off chance he'd reconsider his birthday gift. And because it sounds just so awful to say it.
You know, I've wondered lately whether he knows I post here. I once sent him an article of Michele's and once something from a thread that I just knew he had to read (both were well received). I've not ever mentioned posting here and frankly, it's not the kind of thing I've ever done before. So I don't know if he'd think of it. I'd think he would mention it. Oh, now I'm wondering about this...
