Oh Luke, no, passive aggressive and childish phone book placement on the floor is not being assertive. It's quite destructive in a relationship. It's unattractive, and cowardly. It generates all kinds of angry and annoyed feelings in the recipient. She will not say - finally! Luke's acting like the man of the house! He's moving the phone book to the floor in front of my office! That is attractive to me.
Sorry, your efforts are good but this particular one is a detour. If you agree then go get it and think of a different way to set a boundary about your desk. One that involves using words, hopefully.
