Where is the line between keeping the road home paved smooth and being nice and amicable while I'm certain she is still talking to that guy who is just a "friend" (her story)?
Keeping the road home paved and smooth does not mean to NOT have boundaries. It does not mean that you pave the road with gold plated bricks either.
You know the best thing to DO sometimes is NOTHING.
NOTHING can actually be an ACTION and a choice.
VS
Yelling, screaming, arguing, begging, pleading etc.
