This is where I start getting into trouble with some folks around here. Respect! His respect for you and your self respect for yourself. That is where I would be right now. There was a period where I felt that my wife was showing me very little respect. I told her so and made no contact with her. Since then, she has stopped that type of behavior and apologized when when has crossed the line since then. I had to stand up for myself and tell her, I have self respect and until you treat me the same way I treat you, there is no reason for us to communicate unless it is necessary and about the kids.
Since that time, we have come a long way. I am not saying that my way is the only way or the right way for everyone. But I think it is the right way for me. Since I started standing up to her, she has been nicer and spends lots more time here. She even came over last night and cooked diner with me and we had a nice time after the meal.
I am so very sorry you had to deal with this Christa, as a man I cannot stand for men to mistreat women. What he did was wrong and very unattractive. I am sure he is not as attractive to you today.
