How should I handle MLC direct lying?

I may not be sure of goals, but I am sure of some things: I'm better when I dont communicate with him. He can do no right anymore-not that he does much of anything. If he asks me to do an activity I get rattled/mad and had started saying no to all before NC. Mainly bc its obvious he's squeezing me in w 'something else'. I don't necessarily like that NC is what seems to be needed. BUT I have started accepting that 8 months of no progress this doest't seem likely to get reapired.

I dont' think NC is to punish him, but if it benefits me and rattles him, I do get a bit of satisfaction.
