Headed to court now.
Thanks all

It's not about reassurance ... You do not want her to think you are her puppet... It's more about setting a tone that you will conduct yourself to a standard you have set for yourself and you will not settle for less....not from yourself, her, or anyone else in your life ... Start being the captain of your ship instead of a spectator
Cali,
this is great! Thank you so much. It's a very different way to look at it and makes perfect sense. And it's the way I feel about it. I'm not going to accept less from myself, her or anyone else. I deserve better
