Phone switched off

H left on wednesday for OW and has had his phone switched off for majority of time. He text to say he had left me and that his phone would be switched off, he would contact me at weekend.

I text him asking to call, which he did on Friday afternoon. He said he wants to pick up some clothes, etc at beginning of the week and arrange to see DD.

I text this morning asking him to call to arrange times for stuff and DD (it will help me arrange my week to know when he would like to come and I can have some 'time off' while he's with DD).

I have had no response and am getting p'd off. It is wholly unacceptable to me that he has his phone off all the time. it is also unacceptable to me that he thinks he can just call and say - I'll be there at this time for stuff and DD.

How can I approach this? Should a father not be contactable!?!

dont bloody phone him,it will give you such a lot of dignity.It took me a few weeks to work that out but i felt great when i have decided.Any questions that pop up write down for your solicitor or for him when he rings you.Also if he wishes to collect clothes or see children let him make the contact and then only allow it if it is convenient and then get a friend to do the handover so you dont have to see him for abit and wind yourself up further.
Take back control,trust me it helps.

Imagine his stupid face when he turns on his phone and finds no texts or calls hahaha.
When you pack his stuff i reccomend you play "i like the way you work it" by black street very loudly and once a day in the car toni braxton's he wasnt man enough for meI do not chase my ex around to see dc's its great cos if one day it doesnt suit me or them i can say no guilt free.
God dont i go on?
