Maybe this analogy will help you:

Your H is like the schoolyard bully taking some classmates money. You are the classmate. Instead of standing up for yourself, you give him your money to keep the peace. He will continue to be a bully and take advantage of you until you take a stand.

When the classmate takes a stand, even if he/she gets whooped, generally respect is earned.

He is taking advantage of your kindness. Conflict avoidance is an unhealthy way to deal with problems. It just allows the problems to continue to become bigger.

There was a very active member here, by the username Starsky309 I believe. He was one of my favorite members. I really liked his approach. He shared is sitch at some point, but I was unable to find it. He dropped the hammer and his sitch turned around quickly if my memory serves me correctly.
