That detachment and your post really helped today. I woke up this morning feeling a bit stronger. I didn't engage him at all. And when I wanted to argue a point I stepped back and asked myself if it will help the situation. And if the answer was no then I backed off and didn't say anything. I'm going to try to give myself until Christmas. Back off and see what happens and reassess how I feel then. Unless of course he ends it before then.
