sometimes I'd rather he behaved like a jerk, as being "nice" reminded me too much of what was or should've been, could've been. I keep stbx chit chat "nothing happened here folks" attitude in check by going to the point when we have to talk about kids or stuff, if he asks me stuff not related with kids I just say "I dont know" and immediatly change the subject, I think he's got it by now, we have nothing in common anymore other than the kids.
