Hi GW, ((hugs)) about the dog. I can only speak from my sitch because i don't have a ton of experience with all of this. All I know is that I did try setting boundaries before I had evidence and I was told I was wrong/blowing things out of proportion etc. and nothing changed. As a matter of fact, that is when things went more underground. I found out later that's when my H got a secret second cell phone because I was challenging him on all the TM's on his phone. Once I had the evidence and confronted, that is when things moved. I am not questioning/criticizing anyone else's perspective, but can only share from my own. I just hope it's helpful in some way. Hope you are doing ok today...
