I’m glad I helped lighten this with a little humor!
Good for you. It sounds like you’ve got this and are doing the right thing for yourself.
You are right to realize he will try to ‘hoover’ you back in. Have you read about narcissism? I’m not implying anyone has any disorder, but it gives great insight into what you describe.
Best to you!
