Friend makes Presumptious Statements about things - then waits to see if I refute or confirm them...

This is obviously dirty --- it is to get information.
Trying to get away from this person, but prob. gonna run into him on occasion.
WHAT do you call this?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused...Where is he making these presumptuous statements?
Not enough info, give some examples of things he has said.
It's hard to think of examples, but this was recent & a clear example that I can remember. Ideas?
I would probably disengage from
Genealogical Musings
A good stand-by response to a nosey question:
We USED to trust him - thus he had a key to our house - Or really his MOTHER was supposed to have a key to our house b/c they so often took care of our cats when we (frequently) go out of town.
It sorta became evident that HE was carrying the key with him - b/c he was always so quick to call me & then go check on our house for this reason or that.
Like I said we USED to trust him.
EXAMPLE of presumption:
He had occasion to catch me out in the front yard, as so often happens.......and I became a little antsy, b/c he wanted to go into our garage w/his niece to get a basketball to play our front on our driveway.
He asked why our garage code had changed. I just sorta brushed it off. Then he asked had we had all the locks changed. I said yes.
***He then proceeds with a statement: You mean that key that my mom keeps on her table over there --- that key --- that key is no longer good?!.
And he watched for my reaction.
I just sorta agreed - but he was watching to see if I'd refute that ......ie. DID I KNOW that he actually carries OUR house key around w/him at all times - or did I really think his mother still kept it on a table at their house?
UGH. needless to say I'm trying to disengage from the guy. Avoid him at all costs now --- yet don't want to make an enemy. He still catches me out front or driving by on occasion.
Also - our cats often go into their yard -=---I don't know IF he'd harm them or not ----IF I was mean or no longer "seeing him"!?
Wow, as a Sub teacher, I BET you get exposed to all sorts of crazy things.
I think I would just ignore the statements that you don't want to deal with, like you didn't hear them. If he asks something point-blank then you can use one of the suggestions that you got.
Is this the same guy that let himself into your house a few months ago, while your daughter was home alone? What ever happened about that? I guess you changed your locks and security code (and didn't give him a new key or code?) but did you ever contact the police or talk to his parents etc?
