36 days no contact. He texted me two weeks ago to let me know his dog died. I didn't respond. Today he texted to ask if he could drop off my sunglasses and get his mailbox key from me. When I didn't respond, he called my work number and left a voicemail. It really triggered me. I put the key in an envelope and left it on his truck windshield at his house. I feel like I should text him to let him know, but I don't want to break no contact. I don't want to be a bitch, but this whole thing has been very triggering. Advice please and thank you.

i had an ex show up at my job after weeks of silence and i felt like i couldn’t breathe. that kind of boundary push feels so violating even when it’s wrapped in good intentions. you’re not overreacting.
you handled it. you did what you needed to do. no contact doesn’t mean you’re heartless it means you’re healing.
i feel this so deep. the way they try to come off polite but it still sends your nervous system into a spiral. you’re not a bitch. you’re protecting your peace.
If you want to let him know about the key, maybe you can get a colleague or friend to text him to let him know.
You're doing good, you're being strong and putting up boundaries. You do not need to respond to him.
hugs♥️
Thank you! 🤗
