Personally, I don't see the point of the text. It seems only to satisfy an urge to get in touch and to create expectations.
- You "invite" him three weeks in advance, creating a "continuous presence" until then. - Trip announcement kills the mystery. As if you need him to know or want him to ask questions (he won't). - Music recommendation is slightly smothering.
I think it would be better to wait at least until you get back. Would you have a vet telling you to send such a text?
I say this as a man, a fellow newcomer, who's best at NC in my sitch (and needs it), and who doesn't know your whole sitch all that well. Also, my general take on our stiches is that they take a long time to settle and that we have to give them this time. Perhaps you should set your sights on June and forget about it (ha!) until then?
