Downloaded and read Love Must Be Tough yesterday, and finished reading most of it today, since I keep seeing it being referenced in threads here. Seems to reiterate all the same stuff here about tough love, which makes me feel better about not jumping on the opportunity to have her move back in when my non-negotiables boundaries were clearly not met. Also starting to get a better grasp of the balance of being cold vs tough love / detach.
About to get ready to go on a 3-week trip out of country starting this weekend, so nothing will happen between now and then.
I think what happened was that I read these old threads with a lot of daily interactions, and I get envious of the small positives they get from DB, but then when you get to the end of the threads, the final outcome is often no better :P
