Fishing?

Hello there friends.

I have been reading the forums for several weeks now as a guest and finally crated an account. I am now 14 days no contact.

The first three days were very difficult (previously I had never gone longer than several hours without talking to him). I seem to be handling things relatively well, I have blocked him from everything except for a single email address to be used over the course of our divorce. He knows he is blocked and to only contact me through this email account. The blocking app I use stores any attempts he makes to get a hold of me (so if he gets drunk and abusive again I have proof for my lawyer).

That being said (and again, I think I know what's going on but need validation as I don't trust myself yet) I have seen that he has texted me several times since initiating no contact.

He called on NC day four, then texted to tell me he confronted someone who had hurt me in my past. He had waited several minutes after the text then called again. No response from me.

NC day ten he sent me an email with his new address where my things are being shipped, which is how I told him to contact me. He said the items have not been delivered yet but he will let me know. I did not respond (if he doesn't have my things yet then I have no reason to talk to him).

NC day fourteen (yaaaay me) he had texted me asking me for my license plate number for my car. He called about thirty minutes after the text had been sent. Now.... Here is where I am concerned. The car is the only thing that is in both our names. I cannot for the life of me figure out what he could possibly need my plate information for and it's making me crazy. I'm having anxiety thinking he's going to report the car stolen to make my life miserable. My inner voice is telling me all sorts of things (I haven't been in the habit of listening to her a lot) and I'm not sure which things are more likely. I'm relatively certain that this is just a fishing attempt- a quasi legit reason to get a hold of me to see if he's still blocked on my phone (he probably figured out he still is when he called). However, I know he is a manipulative person and that there is the distinct possibility that he is trying to get my plate info to have my car towed, or reported stolen, etc.

I think I sound crazy even having written all of this out, which I guess makes sense as I have been feeling crazy some days with no contact. However, I just want to make sure that there's not much he can do with my plate info. I am not going to contact him about it, as far as he knows I do not receive any of his texts, nor do I receive any record of his calls etc. I know if he looks hard enough he can find my plate numbers in paperwork I left when I left him, so I just want to make sure he can't do anything with it.

Thanks for listening.
