My ex did the same exact thing. He spoke to me in front of OW like I was nothing. Do not put up with it. It took me a while to get to that point. Anytime he started disrespecting me on the phone in anyway I said, "I'm sorry ex, but I no longer tolerate your disrespect. Call me when you you can be decent". It was only after this that he really started working on is behavior. They talk to us disrespectfully for a variety of reasons: 1) If they truly despise us, it justifies their reason for leaving 2) It impresses OW and for some odd reason they bond more 3) Makes them feel more in control 4) eases their insecurity (for 2 seconds) 5) way to release some of their anger
