what I'm trying to say is that it's not so easy to just walk away.

That's what I always used to think as well-that the only way to implement a boundary was to either leave or be left over it. I have since learned that splitting up is not the only way to implement a boundary. There are tons of options that could, and should, be considered before separation-there are many ways to make someone feel the ramifications of their actions short of physically kicking them to the curb. Be creative.


"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
