“Sorry to bug you...” In 13 years my H has never started a text that way. That is how someone starts a text when they aren’t sure you are wanting to hear from them. It was a little uncertain. I think he was surprised that I had plans I wasn’t willing to change to accommodate him.
Possibly, some uncertainty probably because you stood your ground. But, no expectations. We are looking for consistency in actions. Keep doing what you're doing. It may lead to other tiny signs of him thawing, or it may lead to nothing. I can't see it will make things worse though.

I [censored] hate emoji's too. After one particular bad argument over christmas last year, he stormed out. H and I started a text exchange. It ended with me: "You [censored], you don't give a [censored] about how this effects me" and him "If that's what you think, the you really don't know me {sad face emoji}". Our lives were falling apart and he sends a sad face emoji !
We never use to send them to each other (we didn't text that much - it was always calls). Now he sends texts with emojis all the time. Smiley faces, thumbs up, a sad face when the girls are sick. Every time he sends me a text with an emoji in it, I want to throw the phone.
Then I realise, I send him the same emoji's in my responses. Why, because I want him to think that i don't have any real feelings towards him. He is just another person. For me, emoji's are a substitute for real emotions.
