I am so much better away from him. Heck, its hard for me to make eye contact with him.
I can sooo relate to this! I understand even better now that very stbx has "moved back" into the house. Oddly, I now feel so much more at peace when I know he will be gone at least overnight! And when he is here, I too have such a hard time looking him in the eye. It feels so strange to so badly want to avoid any conversation/confrontation/etc.
