H called yesterday. He knew I was upset adn pulling back. As usual, wanted to know if I had a date with new guy on Tues our movie night. I said that I will not answer you I went with my friend [sis] and had a good time. Then he talks about then its ok for me to go out with other girls then, I said you have so go ahead. I named ow and he goes but she doesn't really count...wtf. He discounts this whole thing or I guess since I know it's ok. Said that he was coming this time but I didn't trust him. I ssaid well if you want to be here today gone tomorrow what do you expect. I don't know when you will be here or not so I didn't bother. I even told him that I just needed to to myself for a while anyway. Then he said so are we going to the movie this Sat. I was going to say no but I agreed.
Then I texted him a few hrs later saying: Mr H I am accepting ur movie & dinner invitation for Sat (movie before 8:30 please [my new rule for myself]) but please if u ever stand me up again without a polite ph call/explanation I will not go out with u again. Le me know a time for Sat. Thx.
Good?
Karen: I've been reading up plenty of articles on setting boundaries in R. Really good stuff. I will keep educating myself on this so I can teach people how to treat me.
