The thing through all this, yes I would think most who post here have the end game of R in mind right?... however the WAS has to arrive at a destination all by themselves that they want the M, they want to put in the work, they have to miss you and everything they felt so sure they needed to walk away from.
The HBO account request .... you are giving her the space and time she wanted, the things she walked away from and did not take ... those are now yours. She needs to live her new life without your help, no passwords for TV accounts that you (or your mom) are paying for .... DO NOT FUND the separation.
And this is where I get unsure/confused. Through a lot of my research, part of what I've read was to be very agreeing, to not 'rock the boat' and try to avoid argument. And also, to be extremely consistent in what I say and do. That being said, I had always agreed that I would give her access to those. (I have 2 streaming boxes, she took one)
I understand letting her figure things out on her own, which I have every intention of letting her do, but it seems counterintuitive to say one thing and then flip and do another. I want to be as consistent as possible. Am I wrong in that?
