Karen,

Choc's suggestion is very good. It keeps your dignity.

I think humor/sacrasm might be fun, too.

"Hun, you know, when you call me names like that...it gets me all hot for you, so please stop, because if you keep this up I'm gonna have peel you like a banana on these bleachers and take you right now." Say it with a wicked grin on your face. Then change the subject.

He'll either think your crazy or will find your backbone and playfyulness unsettling. Either way, I pretty much guarantee it will throw him off balance. It's emotional jiu-jitsu. ;-)

Oh...when you print out posts. Don't leave them in a place he can find them. Be very careful. He may act like he doesn't care what you do, but I bet you he might snoop. He's a lawyer, he's acting in a cruel fashion, he has a mind to leave you and he certainly wants to keep tabs on you. Anything that will give him an edge in the divorce proceedings he'll use. Be careful about any email correspondence. So....be as innocent as a dove, but as wise as a serpent.
