TL, what a development! I agree with Matt, it is probably starting to sink in for your x. I suspect that magic of him feeing happy after the D was final is not happening. Surprise, surprise… I’m amazed at how you handled the situation. I’m thinking this is not the end of it. I just hope that he will not become like Bea’s xh.
My H signed off the house to me last year. In his mind he was not happy here, he didn’t want it, he was trying to get rid of the burden. Part of it he was also trying to be nice and I guess felt guilty too. I wander if he is also mad at me sometimes for doing this. I just have no ways to know. I don’t think he would initiate anything like your x did via e-mails or texts. He is just “too nice” in his own eyes.
