I just find it so confusing, there is this section on the db website:

http://www.divorcebusting.com/a_while_spouse_decides.htm

is this not the same as allowing you partner to treat you like a door mat? I don't see the difference. Maybe its just me. I understand you don't allow your "friends" to kiss you etc but I wouldn't allow a friend to lie and cheat me and to then lend them money and help them move out. Maybe I'm just heartless.

My H has never hurt me, I'm just affraid of causing irreparable damage.
