I gotta get to bed…but there is a difference IMHO between saying H can't see OWs and H can't see YOU as long as there is OWs. It's about you drawing a line. He can figure out if he wants to cross it and be on your side of the line.

And as for the attitude that OWs are acceptable because you are not together…I've pondered the same thing. But I recall reading a vet coming down on someone about this (Wonka on Mozza? Apologies if that is way off). Pretty sure the lesson was that that attitude wasn't helping. See if you can find that thread.

Anyway, congrats on making it to 2 weeks! Especially great that you feel like that has helped you. I've been reflecting on my NC timelines, too. I'm managing longer than 2 weeks but definitely not 2-3 months like Nettles suggested.

I never have done a marathon.
