W seemed somewhat upset, but claimed that she understood.

That's almost amazing, isn't it? The complete disconnect between how THEY have "their" space, but your space is somehow supposed to be shared. When I first started trying to enforce that boundary with STBXW, and I told her that she had her space, and I needed to have mine, too, she actually said, "you have your space, it's your office, what I do with MY time in OUR house is up to me."

I always wondered if she replayed those conversations in HER head, to, the way I did in mine, and had some "WTF, did I actually SAY that??" moments, or if she was so convinced of whatever she was saying that she completely believed it.


Just keep swimming
