Hi Exquisite, I'm glad to read that you are seeking support and that sounds like a useful appointment with your therapist and some good insight.
My guess is that your ex may continue to behave in the same 'triggering' way - unless he chooses to do some introspection - but that's up to him and out of your control.
But how you choose to respond to that - whether or not you are interested, bothered or triggered - that's truly within your gift. And I agree with Ginger's wise statement too.
Best of luck with everything - it sounds like you are on a good path xx
