puppy, any advice for how i proceed going forward in terms of my relationship and interactions with h?
That's a pretty broad question, Doodles. I would generally continue doing what you're doing now, conveying a sense of "moving on without him" and confidently pursuing your legal/financial support.
"Gee, sorry, honey, this isn't what I wanted but since you made the bed I figured I needed to make it more comfortable for me to lie in it" is what you're trying to convey.
