Hi Jen! I didn't see your posts from yesterday until today - don't know how I could have missed all those posts. lol
cw has given you good advice. If you think you can muster up enough self-control, let him talk (you hopefully gain some insight about what he's thinking) and just listen or validate by saying "I'm sorry you feel that way." Nothing more, nada!!! No explanations, no buts. That will be a complete 180 and he'll definitely notice if you keep it up.
Hope your internet connection is repaired soon. We miss you!!!
I agree with Stella. Don't invite yourself along. Wait til he invites you and when he does, don't accept every time. Tell him you've made plans and leave it at that.
