Whatever dude. 1) you could have said nothing, 2) you could have just stopped at thank you, 3) what the heck does the ? mean?
This is where you really are going to struggle unless you go dark. Your STBXH has no problem with you being in the friend zone. I suspect he may even enjoy that he finally has the upper hand on you. I suspect he is willing to be friends with you and will reach out even years down the road if he needs something. The challenge will be whether you have decided enough is enough and block or ignore him. But right now your hamster is spinning about the question mark. Does he mean "I can't believe after everything I put you through you are still doing me favors"? "Maybe I was wrong about her and should give her another chance"? Or "what a sucker after everything I did to her". Or maybe he accidently added a "?". YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. Waste of time and energy. BTW the way I know you want to play nice and I am ok with it to an extent. There were two ways to do the right think. Your way which displays low value. Or "hey I boxed up your mail for you, let me know the next time your in the area and I will leave it on the porch". High value!

I'll say it again. Take the sweet deal and the health insurance. It changes nothing towards possible reconciliation years down the road.
