Then he said, I will be back tomorrow night I just didn;t have a chance to pack all my things before I came here today....
Is he saying that he's moving back home (to your house) today???
If that is so, how would laying out your boundaries start a fight? What would be the problem(s) for him?
Neecy, I believe it's all in how you choose your words. You shouldn't say anything like, "You cannot do this or that". It should be more like, "I will not be ok with this or that....These dealbreakers are not appropriate for me in any R, even more so in my M".
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
