Healthyagain- good for you for not giving into his crap- especially not becoming physical with him. It sounds like he is definitely trying to bait you. It sounds like you are the bigger, stronger, healthier person and hopefully soon you will see how proud you should be of yourself for taking these steps. If I had known five years ago what I know now- I would have moved on, probably frozen a few eggs, and never looked back. Alas, now my time for babies is probably past but I do have my fur babies. Enjoy your puppy and remember to breathe.
