She has set a boundary that she will not tolerate me touching her breasts while she is sleeping. Okay. Boundary noted. I have set a boundary that I will not tolerate her coming up to bed after I'm asleep and trying to engage me in conversation. Sounds reasonable. Yet she still tries to do this. I intend to hold her to the same standards as she holds me to from now on. (Talk? Right now? After I've been sleeping for 20 minutes? Sure, but prepare to have your breasts fondled while you're asleep.)






Hmmmm. I think you might be better off with a boundary along the lines of "Dear wife, I really like fondling breasts.Therefore, I plan on fondling some breasts this weekend. Please let me know if you would like them to be yours. This would be my preference since you have really great breasts. Love, HD". Why bother creating a boundary about something you only kind of care about, being woken up to chat, when you can take a stand on something you really do care about, breast fondling? I think you should stay focused on the problem at hand.
