No, it can't, but Ken can position this as "This is what I need. You, Wife, are free to do whatever you want to do -- you are an adult, after all, and I cannot control you. But make no mistake, whatever you decide will affect what I decide, going forward."

There's a difference between laying out ULTIMATUMS (YOU-oriented) and BOUNDARIES OF PERSONAL INTEGRITY (ME-oriented).
