What would have been the appropriate way to state that boundary then?
I picked up several books at B&N...one called "the ultimate secrets of total self confidence", "the 4 agreements", one called "too nice for your own good", one called "stop walking on eggshells", and one called "get anyone to do anything". I thought they had the "no more mr nice guy book" but what they had was something of the same name that was more of a sarcastic sick humor book.
I really am too damn nice for my own good...so that may be the one I read first. In my response to my ex's dad's girlfriend today, I told her if they needed anything picked up like a prescription or groceries to let me know, that I'd be happy to help. After my ex's dad picked up D3 today I ended up sending my ex another text message to confirm the pickup, tell her that I just wanted to be kept in the loop, tell her that D3 was bringing a card for her, that I was glad her surgery went well that I hoped she felt better, and that she could call if she needed anything.
While my ex's dad's g/f did say thanks to my offer, my ex never responded. Now it makes me angry that I extended the offer or said anything to any of them...as they all know the situation and are probably having a good laugh at my expense.
Who cares what they think though. It will be a cold day in hell before I do anything for any of them again...including my ex.
