What I want is To discuss things with me instead of informing me. For him to help me move my stuff into the new place. Jody suggested I invite him along to view places with me (perhaps this could be instead of lunch which I don't even want to do anymore).
Unfortunately, I don't think there's much chance that you get what you want.
He isn't going to discuss things with you. It seems to me that he wants to be in control of your interactions, and your opinion doesn't count for much.
The only way he is going to help you move is on his terms. Is that really what you want? I'd make another plan, and when he mentions it just tell him you have it covered.
It feels to me that you have been better served when you see him less. Am I reading that wrong?
