Hi Little, I think a lot of us can relate to your story about inequality in household duties! I know I can. When my H moved out I was so happy with the reduced amount of clean up and the fact that the house remained clean all the time! No one to pick up after but me!
My H also did the exact same thing with friendly text messages. As others said, is note it as a positive baby step and yet keep ignoring him. I don't mean to "barge in & bark" here, but I don't see anyone discussing the Divorce Busting book(S) here or mentioning if they have read them or gotten a DB coach.,
But the books do NOT say to "ignore" their reaching out or to ignore baby steps. I really do urge you all to read the books that form the basis of the approach we use here. It really does matter.
Sounds super similar to my situation, my H has been friendly texting since he left almost 4 months ago. The best response as far as I can tell is to be friendly back but brief and not to contact him first. If your story evolves like mine I'm guessing your BF will be wanting to see you so get ready for the random excuses for meeting up.
Good (well not good exactly) to see others on here with similar situations that I can relate to. Hopefully we can all help and support each other.
Hugs, Lisa
