Thanks Cat and Livnlearn,

I agree with distancing myself. STBXH is being all nice to me now. I am being cordial but not friendly. I think the less personal I am with him the better.

I decided to post this on piecing since there is probably more traffic and chances are some people that are piecing may have dealt with going dark and it was helpful.

Thanks for the link. I will check it out.
