Big backslide when I brought up how difficult it would be to live on 1500 each month b/c of additional medical expenses we have. Won't do that again, I hope.
Why do you think this was a backslide? If you were pointing out what post-D would look like, this was not a backslide. Bringing reality to her is a good thing.

Could someone help me with trying to find a balance. I feel like I am being too cold. I don't know how to keep firm boundaries and stay non-frigid.
If she isn't staying within your boundaries, no need for discussion. Time to enforce them.
If you are talking about how to act around her assuming she's staying within those boundaries, treat her like an attractive co-worker you want to get to know better.
