I would stop the contact all together. This is sort of insulting, what he's doing to you. It took me a long time to realize that and really I'm still very insulted about all of it but I do want to see if this can be worked out.
I can't exactly stop contact. We're still in the same house, with the same bills to pay and we have a child together. Dotty says I should try to be a friend to him and invite him on casual outings.
I'm not sure what you're referring to as insulting. Would you mind clarifying?
