How do I avoid communication with a partner I live with who subjects me to silent treatment after disagreements, regularly?
I am on the way out of this relationship and until this partner moves out or vice a versa, I want to avoid contact when they attempt to make contact as it will only be a ploy to sustain the abuse and keep me subjected to it. I would like ways to disengage and stop communication in its tracks. He specifically gives me the silent treatment until he sees me living my life then like a leech, he latches on to purposely trying to communicate with me even when I give him no contact. He started these rules so I would like consistency and to avoid contact all together as this doesn't work for me. I am tired of him talking to me after his hours, days of silent treatment just to do it all over again when I finally feel comfortable again. I am done with the maltreatment.

Break up now. Tell him you will no longer communicate with him beyond what is necessary to resolve your living situation and untangle yourselves financially, and that these meetings will be scheduled in advance. Make your own rules and settle this once and for all.

He seems very immature and insecure, and perhaps you can tell him that it is beginning to cost him your respect. It probably has already, but if you tell him that he has nothing to lose by being even more unpleasant. You are not in a school playground, are you?! Can you reason with him, or his ego so very low
that he cannot see reason? Has he family you can talk with? Try to help him to be strong if you can, because he may well respond better if you are kind. Obviously you won't want to encourage him to expect a future with you, but best to try to give him a little hope for his own future.
Have you had any legal advice?
Good Luck!
