Thus when you are there he can't enter without your knowledge.

If you don't want him to come in then you lock the door from the inside. You haven't changed the locks, just as a women in the house alone you want to know who is entering or leaving.

Additionally if he's there in his pj's, just say I see you are not ready to leave yet. I am taking the kids and going for x time. I expect you gone when I arrive back. Then leave with the kids, preplan it.

What does your L say?

I will search out Pink for a response as her WH is referred to as a kitty MLC and she has had similiar issues of late and Pink is D!
