what I'm trying to show you is that while he is not treating you well and seems to be using you and not handling fatherhood well at all, I have to ask what's in it for you.I see it as spending time with him and letting him see my changes.
Are you with him for the mealticket or what? Does he have a great income or house?His income is okay. I don't need his income to make it on my own.
Bottom line
Your communication pattern is very passive aggressive until it boils over and then you both engage in conflict escalation and then retreat..I have to agree with here. We both are very passive aggressive people. We both don't like confrontation.
