I am doing this and enforcing this boundary for my protection as well as my children. Sticking with this the way things are is not healthy for anyone. I have to keep sticking with this....no backsliding.
I am feeling sad. Sad that ego, pride, and selfishness is more important to dh than his family. He would rather be right and strong in everyone's eyes than be happy and admit he has problems. Backing down is a sign of weakness and he has too much pride for that. Little does he know people probably don't respect him.
Friday night. Weekend coming. I am sure he will start drinking, feel vunerable and call OW for some stroking. She never confronts him about his drinking, his anger, his selfishness. I guess I am the one holding up the mirror.
Stay strong SO2. Please don't weaken. Stick to your boundaries and don't let him cross them again!
