[quote=Anonymous]Yes you need to drop the rope. Train them to contact DH, not you. If they call, don’t answer- just let DH know they called. If they text or message: send brief and polite response, and direct any inquires to your DH “Yes the kids are doing well. Glad to hear you are enjoying the nice summer weather” “ I have forwarded the info about the family reunion to DH. Enjoy the rest of your day” etc etc. Be polite, but not chatty, and don’t give any unnecessary information. Treat them as you would an acquaintance, polite and formal-ish with dull pleasantries about the weather. Forward any actual questions to DH. They will get the hint (and learn they don’t get much out of contacting you) and start contacting DH directly. Worked for me. [/quote]
