Legal separation because we are not legally married. I try to have as little contact with him as possible. The dog thing freaked me out and I was alone. I realized I need to broaden my friend circle so I have people to call in the middle of the night for things like this. And yes it is hard to not engage with him he can be such an a$$ at times. But I love the stink bug analogy hahahaha. It's going to be hard not to laugh now every time he speaks.
