For those of you who had WAS’s return at some point, were they ever really contemptuous or mean to you about the things you said or boundaries you put up?
Yes! Partners often get upset when you first set boundaries. My first "No" was met with yelling and anger that I was controlling what "we" did. I used the stock reply, "I control me, you control you." 7 months in we broke up fully and went NC, 10 months in we R'd, and here we are 12 months in.
