Hi Rouky, Nothing new to add, but I totally get it. Having no contact is definitely much easier on the spirit. I, too, feel that sting every time I see my stbx.
Honestly, I don't know how you could get your h to wise up and realize that you are not to be accomodating him. I'm sure you've read up on boundaries, but it is really hard to enforce a boundary when you're dealing with someone who is completely clueless and won't "see" his behavior.
And no, you're not a b*, you're someone who can manage her own responsibilities and you are not responsible for coddling your h.
Keep up the good work Rouky!
