Pigskin, that entire conversation is about you trying to either TEACH her, or RUB HER NOSE IN IT.
Neither is effective.
You are like a parent, with a misbehaving child, running amok all over the house, and you try to REASON with them, asking "Why are you acting up this way?" -- instead of calmly laying out the boundary, and the consequence:
"If you throw your toys and scream in the house again, you're going to go to your room, with no TV for one hour." And then you do it.
Quote:
I re-read the posts from September. The biggest thing was she leaves if the EA goes on, and that's where we are, although she says she's breaking it off, and needs to get away by herself.
So, in 2 1/2 months, this boundary remains unenforced. And you still don't understand where you're going wrong?
