I wanted to comment on that piece as well. Don't you think that is more of the same? What would be the 180 here?
You could be right, I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm concerned he will do it to try and "shock" his wife out of it (as he said), but if it doesn't work he may reverse course and let her come and go as she pleases again. Maybe I'm thinking that because it's EXACTLY what I did, LOL! I told W not to come in the house, that she needed to either knock and wait for me to open the door or call from the driveway. I think deep inside I was hoping it would snap her out of it and make her miss me and our home. The problem was it never did make sense logistically because she has to let herself in to get the kids ready for school after I've already left for work. And sometimes when I was there she would knock and I wouldn't hear it, so she was stuck waiting and knocking and waiting. So she went to knocking and then letting herself in, and then just letting herself in again. It just wasn't a well-thought-out boundary on my part!
