Just catching up, a lot happening. I thought it was funny when you said initially R just flow, they aren't work...and then you end up here. All R are work, once you get out of the la-la land. It's thinking that they shouldn't be that gets us in trouble.
Seems that you're doing OK. Still trying to mind read a bit, and making up stories about why she does what she does. Talk your talk (boundaries), walk your walk (values), it'll fall in to place...or not.
"One question though...how are we H's supposed to have any idea on where our W's stand on the subject if it's always that flexible?" It's not necessarily flexible, most women process information in a way that's different from men. A different part of their brain lights up. Just listening is a good start. If it's a problem don't offer suggestions on how to fix it. Asking questions is always good for finding out information from your W. Validating is also important.
Good luck, T!

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
