I guess then that we will have to agree to disagree.
What do we disagree about?
We both realize how important boundries are; we both realize we must respect and value ourselves before we can be respected and valued by others; and we both realize that it's not healthy for us or our relationships to let other people disrespect and devalue us.
That said, most spouses that walk away from a marriage tend to treat the spouse they left behind like crap. They are often rude, selfish, demanding, and cold. They think the sun and moon and stars revolve around them and each whim or desire they have. They treat us like garbage because we allow them to.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
