One idea...

state outright

"H, this isn't working for me. I need you out by next week." (Period)

And if he brings up another casual "Shoot the breeze/hello" discussion, try

"H, we are splitting up. So let's keep focus on the boys. They'll be back Wednesday"...

I don't think ending your comments with questions or conditions is wise b/c it'll suck you in

and chances are good you will either escalate, to your regret

or cave - to your regret.

Whatever you do, stay on message and say 1/10 of what you feel like saying.
