He's Just Not That Into You

[RegretfulLA]

Thanks BD - I am no longer afraid of engaging on that level. I will not continue to be disrespected. My IC has helped me identify the "non-negotiables" and this kind of interaction is certainly on that list. As I continue to DB I'm getting a much stronger sense of what I need and what's good for me and what isn't, and I know I tolerated H's passive aggressive BS for far too long.

I think H knows that he's got to change his communication style in general. I have to admit that in the heat of the moment, I actually told him, "Maybe your next wife will stand for being trashed, but I won't." You know what he said? "Maybe she will."
