People can only hurt you if you choose to let them. Remember that, develop a mantra so when he come sat you - you're this:

He can only continue of you let him. You are giving him this power. He gets his needs met by your emotional reaction. So stop letting him have it. You can develop a thick skin to his face and show your hurt elsewhere. Believe me, when it stops working, they stop trying to be giant a$$holes. It's a huge expenditure of energy on their part and keeps feeding that "woe is me, she treats me like crap, I'm gonna have another drink".

My mantra is the serenity prayer...it works great! Stay strong...this too shall pass...
