She cant keep it going, I am not going to allow it. That is clear and the boundry remains.
I beg to differ, Pcola. I think what everyone has been TRYING to tell you, is this:
You can SAY one thing, clearly. And then your subsequent ACTIONS can fuzzy-up your very clear statement, and it's those actions that you're wife is noticing.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that us LBSs are the only ones who follow the "believe nothing that they say, and only half of what they do" mantra. Your wife, I can guarantee you, takes your "boundary" not seriously at all.
