Hi Shiss, thanks for dropping by my thread. Read very very carefully what everyone has said. In my case, being dark, being no contact would not work , simply because I pulled that crap in the marriage. When he contacts you, yes be pleasant and no, no questions.
And the dog comment??? Yikes...How about "They miss you. Would you like to set up a schedule where you can see them and take them for a walk?" Chances are, he invites you on walk. If you think you can keep mouth zipped, by all means go. If not simply say, "I was just doing/going blah blah, but thank you Always And have a real activity planned if necessary. It will help with GAL anyway
Your H is not done by a long shot. He is looking to you to change. it's been ten years (this time frame will shift in all conversations by the way) for him and you are done after 12 days??
