Bea, I think we are on the same page totally. My xh loves to rattle off at the mouth and tell me about everything he's doing, etc. Do I share anything about my life? Nope. My xh tends to ask in a roundabout way "hope your family is doing well or how is the family doing". I never respond to his comments. I feel he lost the privilege of knowing what my family is doing the day he walked out the second time.
I think your xh will contact you sooner than 6 weeks.
No one can make this stuff up because it's such crazy behavior.
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.
