I was a push over CVA. I let H get away with a lot of his negative behaviors. More so because I was *trying* to be what he wanted me to be. Maybe a little different than your sitch. But I certainly did not have the backbone to draw boundaries then. In the beginning of this whole thing I think I had some "I don't know" moments but the more I thought about things it became clear what changes I needed from H to be happy in M. But I had already decided to try to work on the M at that point.

WAW the pushover is gone! No more controlling men. I think I am strong enough now to resist falling into that trap again!
