Hi BQT: May I suggest that when H get his things you could maybe stay in another room or outside? I would say, "I don't want to be in your way while you get your things but I'll be in the living room (or whatever room) if you need anything." This way you know he won't take any of your things but your being friendly letting him know that if needs something you are there to help.

As for him wanting to talk. What is there really to talk about? You know he lied about sleeping in his truck. He basically called you crazy for calling all the hotels looking for them, and of course Melinda didn't call you because she wouldn't do that (yeah right). You really don't have to explain yourself to him. He knows what he has done is wrong but he wants to put blame on you. I wouldn't argue with him because this could turn physical again. I would just agree with everything he says (even though it may not be true). I've read that if you agree with them right or wrong they in turn don't get angry and really don't have a reason to argue with you. Make any sense?

Be strong, don't let him walk over you, don't allow him to stay there if that's what he's wanting. Would he flip out if you ask for the house key? If you don't think he won't I would ask for the house key back.

You are such a great person with a great heart. Again, be strong and stand your ground. I know you can do this.
