yes, stop talking to him unless absolutely necessary. matter of fact, go play with the kids, get on the phone with someone who does want to talk to you. (wish I could give you my number) go work on a 1000 piece puzzle or whatever it is you wish to do. matter of fact, it would be even better if you weren't even home when he gets there. take the kids to do something, get home half an hour after him. come in happy and glowing. If you are already home when he gets there and you have something planned with the kids, invite him but make it VERY VERY clear you are going with or without him, so his answer is irrelevant to you, only to him. he says no. Great, go anyways. Who watches a game when you don't like either team? LOL!!!!
