Turned a corner

[Queen_of_Swords]

You can't control him. You can't make him tell you the truth.

You can decide that every word that crosses his lips is the truth.
You can decide that every word that crosses his lips is a lie.
You can trust, but verify.

You can tell him that he broke your trust in his word. That's his problem, not yours.
You can tell him that because his lies of the past are affecting your today, you no longer take his statements at face value.

This is a natural consequence of lying.


State your boundary : When you do _______. I feel _______. I want __________.

If you - a description of the behavior we find unacceptable (again being as descriptive as possible.)
I will - a description of what action you will take to protect and take care of your self in the event the other person violates the boundary.
