Don’t tell him where you going and what you doing. The minute you said he knew you went dancing or what not, I knew it opens up new cycle of a game. He’s jealous you are dancing with guys (he thinks that or pretends to think that). Then he needs more communication. Then you inform him that you are ok.

And of course the next morning game is back him crying and you are weak. He can’t play if you step out of the game. Some separated people live in the same household for months. It’s uncomfortable of course but no need to keep informing about mundane things. Bill info in writing. Nothing else needs to be discussed at all. Polite hello is fine. Nothing else needs to be said

He knows how to play the game.
