Also end every contact yourself - if you're speaking to him, end it first. If he texts, end it first. If he emails, end it first.

If he calls, answer or return every 2nd to 3rd call.

If he texts, wait as long as you can, preferably a day or two before answering if you can. Post the texts here and get advice before responding.

If emails, do the same as for texts.

Don't engage in R talk.

Don't engage in any arguing.

he will try and suck you into arguing. Ignore it, bypass it go around it. Don't respond to it or acknowledge it in ANY way.

I see this 'communication' stage as a power struggle. It's very important for your own sanity to win that struggle. He will hate it and he will resist it but you must persevere and win.
