No Contact/Only Contact about child arrangements help

Hi all,

I've recently separated from my husband who I share an almost 3 year old with. He keeps pushing to spend time the three of us, sending long, confusing texts that I find draining and has recently implied I'm gaslighting him by omission by not answering his questions to his satisfaction.

I've previously told him I won't discuss anything with him verbally (all communications text or email) but will be pleasant in front of our young child.

This sounds so silly but does anyone have any suggested wording I can contact him with to say I only want to communicate with him regarding child contact arrangements and do not want to spend time the three of us?

I know it's odd to ask but I feel so confused and on the back foot when dealing with him.

Get a cheap phone on pay as you go, send him the number and say you will check it 1x a week about next week’s contact (& keep it available during the time he has the boy). Block him on your main number x

Block him and Only unblock him when he has your child/ day before contact?

Thanks - it's a good idea about the PAYG and blocking.

He's being difficult just now and contact is constantly changing which makes things tricky and frustrating.
