I went outside after the kids were in bed to talk to him and reaffirm my boundary. I was ready to say that if you can't cut off contact you need to pack your bag Monday night and all and he tossed the phone on my lap and said he already did. I can take the phone, he gave me his passwords and said he wouldn't contact her.
Moment of strength and clarity for him.
Quote:
To summarize a long discussion - 1.5 hours I think - he realizes the friendship crossed a boundary. But for him, she is the one who got him through each day. She was someone who could relate to what it is like to tell a patient's family they will not make it. He had one especially difficult case with a kid today and she helped him through it and he said then later he had to tell her not to ever contact him again.
Be the one he can share that kind of day with in the future. Investigate how you lost that slot and regain it going forward.

Communicate this to H: I'm barely here, too. I want a better M, too, and you are not fitting the bill at present time. You might want to research how to attract me going forward." That's what your facials, posture, time, treasure - all of you needs to project.
