CW, thank you for this, I needed to hear that I am not alone. How did your W’s resistance to boundary-making make you feel? I think I have been tip-toeing around my boundaries because I don’t want to make him angrier at me or just straight up leave. But that clearly isn’t working. And the more I look deep inside, the more I realize I probably don’t have enough boundaries.

I have been told by H so many times in the past few months that I am no longer in control. This Is typically in response to a boundary I put up or to something I ask (I am done asking for things at this point). H has classified me as a controlling, domineering, terrible person who has run the show and ruined it. I agree that I am a type a person who knows what she wants, but I also know deep down that I am able to compromise and am a team player.
