Also, when I don't respond, he provokes me with "oh, so you don't answer my calls, funny," and/or he'll reel me in with something kid related or "important".

I think that the impression that I am "angry" really disturbs me because it seems like such an easy out for him...me, predictably angry because I am just that person not that I am angry for a f*cking valid reason.

Anyway, putting aside what he thinks or feels, I am mostly concerned with getting my life together and working out some kind of arrangement with him, getting some work and moving to a cheaper place. Right now, I dance with him a little because I don't want him cutting me off...yuck. But, once I am situated, I can be a bit truer to my own desires (like getting him off my facebook page!!!)...
