Partner went mad at me because I told him he should tell the DVLA

That he has MS. He told me he had it when we first met. The other day he told me that he won't tell the DVLA he has it because it will affect his insurance. He generally doesn't tell anyone he has it. I told him he should tell the DVLA because otherwise he could get into trouble if he were to have an accident.

He started telling me to shut up and said I'm threatening him! I'm not - I'm just telling him to cover himself. He then said that he doesn't have it because he doesn't have an official diagnosis. So why tell me he has it then?

No I haven't. Unfortunately I can't block emails for some reason

Elektra, not just you. With or without extra challenges, it's really hard to see what's going on in your own relationship. Often it takes a comment from someone outside it to help you see it clearly. Like those 3D pictures where you only see a blur, until you step back and see the whole picture.
You're doing great.

You can create an auto-delete rule in email. Or auto-archive to a folder you never look in.

You have terminated the relationship, so you are in a strong position. Suggest do not read or reply to his emails. Take some time to be on your own, love yourself.

Sounds like you’re doing the right thing, well done and stick to it.

Make a new folder in your inbox and then set up a rule or filter (your email client will use one or the other) which sends anything 'From' his address straight into that folder. In fact, having found Rule (or Filter) why not have his emails go straight into Trash? And then clicking on the button which empties trash whenever you close your client...

You have no need to read his emails or texts or any other communications from him.
