That's an example of what Jon does sometimes. I told him that if he does not acknowledge what I say, I will assume he is not listening and go quiet and not comment on what he says. It may seem childish, but showing by example works almost every time.

As for my family, I would not even mention my ex's name. It's like they shut off their ears immediately. They think I'm foolish and weak for lowering myself to still love a guy that crapped on me like he has. They are right, but I can't seem to let this guy I loved for so long go completely.
