[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you in contact with him so closely to for this? Even if you have kids, talk about kid-related things only. Don’t let him belittle you. Shut it down.[/quote]

Here's an example. This morning the following text exhange occurred:

Him: Call me
Me:Is everything okay?
Him: ? Call me when you can
Me: Can you tell me what you want to discuss?
Him: JFC I just don't feel like typing
Me: Topic. That's it.
Him: Ok f*ck off. Good luck with everything.
Him: Pathetic. Bye
Me: You want to talk about the car? [I recently had a car issue] I want to know the topic before we speak.
Him: Why?! Who TF do you think you are?! You act like an entitled d*** to the very people whose help you're constantly asking for
Him: Are you f***ing available or not?!

So not sure how to handle things like this. I don't think I was being unreasonable in my texts. It's overwhelming and happens a lot.

He’s your ex. Block his number. Unless you share children and the only respond when it’s about the kids. [/quote]

We do share kids. Also, the "call me" text made it seem urgent, but it was early and I didn't want to call unless I knew it was. I didn't know what it was about. [/quote]

If the kids are with you, don’t respond. If the kids are with him, call. But do not engage. This takes time to get good at, but you don’t need to engage with him AT ALL unless it’s about the kids. And unless it’s an emergency, you don’t have to respond right away. [/quote]
