Where do I go from here? pt. 2

[asitis]

You kinda regret? Either way, I think you own up to what you think is best for you. If it is a boundary you think you need, he needs to respect it. If he can't that's his problem really. Don't make it out to be an always and forever more. It is right now this is a boundary I need to have for my healing and well-being.

If you decide you do regret it, you tell the decision and the reconsideration, and then you give him a copy. Done. Yes, he might react poorly. Then you hold off on giving the copy and see if you reconsider your reconsideration.

I think being honest here about your need for boundaries (or the reconsideration) shows him respect and giving him the chance to have an authentic reaction to your actions/decision. It will likely tell you a lot about whether or not he is willing to respect you back. That's what you want, isn't it?
