My honest reaction? No surprise really. He wants to continue to make this as long and agonizing as he can. It is his last part of being able to control and/or abuse you in some way in his mind. He probably is getting a sense of power that he could be agravating you. Typical abuse/controling man.

Hugs to you. You are in Dougs and my thoughts. Can't wait to see where it goes from here. Hopefully in a more positive direction for you.
