I am so glad your getting more confident in yourself and doing more. It must be hard to try and keep up both of you on your salary. Just please be careful.
My ex used me during his weak times with a dui. Waited till he paid off his fees, did his classes, and then got his license and a job. Then he treated me like junk after he was on his feet again.
I wouldn't worry about the ow. You probably know he is involved by the shutting down he is doing. I am sure he probably is feeling guilty and can't really tell you everything he does so he is safer keeping quiet.
Just continue on what your doing and don't pay attention to his moods or mention it. The nicer you are the more truly guilty he is going to feel. Work on yourself like you are.
I myself am glad to be rid of mine since it keeps that burden off my back. It cost me more to maintain him when he was here then is is to maintain my son and I only. He still comes over and shows me he has never changed but still wants to come back. After 2 years, it still has not kicked in why.
