A new Start to a bad ending.

Also wanted to say Robx and Coach are giving you advice which is spot on. You will only get respect by drawing and enforcing boundaries which are healthy for you. My psychiatrist told me - "When a woman loses respect for her man she leaves him."

You can't make anyone respect you but you can COMMAND respect by drawing and enforcing healthy boundaries.

God knows I wish I had done that two years ago. Not because of anything to do with saving my marriage, but more so for keeping my own self respect and integrity.
