Great advice, Lil. Try it, Lou!!! It seems like "you" always end up giving in just when she's "getting it". That's the back rubbing part. You don't let her "suffer" for her actions. She's constantly "reeling" you back in.
I think the fact that you are "finally" taking a firm stand may be the "do or die" process that you need to find out what the rest of your life with BB will be like.
