Organic chem was my favorite class in nursing school- how did you do on your test? What else are you taking - A&P? Pharmacology? And how did night 2 go? Did you do any GAL activities? How did the girls handle it?

You have every right to feel proud of yourself! Setting boundaries and enforcing them was so difficult for me during my stand. I let so many things I had always assumed would be deal breakers for me in my marriage slide by for so long, in some kind of pitiful Pollyannish hope that my ex would wake up and realize on his own that what he was doing was wrong. He did not LOL.

The vets always reminded me that boundaries were meant to protect me, and had to be enforceable. So while I would have liked to tell my ex he had to stop his affair, I had no way to enforce that. My major boundary was that he could only skype the Russian Tramp (my pet name for his OW smile ) in his own bedroom. Not much of a boundary, I admit, but it helped me a lot to not have to hear them talking and giggling all over the house, bleeeech.

You are doing so well Andy. Do you see any other boundaries that would protect you and your girls?
