Boundaries should be about YOU -- "I will not live in an open marriage." It's then up to the other person to decide what to DO with that information you've now shared with them, lovingly and firmly. [/i]
This is what I think so many people miss. It's about YOU. I refused to live in an open marriage. He was on the couch. He "ended it", decided to move back into the bedroom. Then I see he is still FB friends and was being secretive with his phone. I calmly said, "I can't work on this M without the defriend and access to your phone."
What was I losing? Trying to piece together am M built on lies? No thanks. Let's take a time out, see where it shakes out. I mean, it's easier said than done, but I don't regret my setting boundaries. Not at all.
