I talked to my DB Coach today. As always, she was so helpful and positive. She recommended setting some boundaries. She reminded me that sometimes I may need to change things if it looks like I am going down a cheeseless tunnel. She said that if I keep things the same, then I will be helping keep H's fantasy alive.
Now I just need to get a backbone. It is hard because H is trying like crazy this week to reach out to me. Sharing stuff about work which he has not talked to me about in over a year, inviting me to dinner with his family and the kids (I already had plans so I declined). It feels so genuine, but based on his comments on Sunday, I know that it is probably coming from a place of fear and trying to keep his control.
What did I used to do with my time when life was simple?
