Jen,

Is the term you are looking for to describe your H...BOUNDARIES and the willingness to enforce them??? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think that is the part of plan A that is often missing or misunderstood. The BS must make some accomodations, address love busters, BUT they can and should have boundaries and be willing to enforce them. Boundaries are NOT ultimatum, and as your H told you clearly, he knew where his were, and even to you they were reasonable.

That does allow the 5w bulb to flicker a bit doesn't it? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hope you are doing well Jen. Is your daughter back yet?

Must go.

God Bless,

JL

Yes, JL, that is it exactly.

We are doing very well, JL, and yes DD is back. She had a month in the States, after Europe, which she LOVED. She found Americans to be friendly, helpful and just all round nice people. They were lucky enough to stay with her b/f's Aunt in Indiana and had the whole Halloween/American football/tailgate picnic experience. She LOVED New York.
