LL,

I'd be very careful about using "boundaries" to dictate the behavior of another person. I think it's possible to use them to influence their behavior, but not to outright control them. Wasn't there a boundary (in your use of the word) in your marriage to begin with about not engaging in extramarital relationships?!? What makes you think that a boundary line of this sort will be respected now? Boundaries (in my understanding in this sort of sitch) are more about what you will subject yourself to. If you set a line at phone calls, what will you do at this point? It's a fine line between controlling and protecting yourself.

Also, by setting boundaries regarding OM contact and interactions, your are implicitly condoning the A. You don't, do you?
