Think I have made some progress
Permalink  

Just wanted to share a bit.  I am no longer irritated by my bf's smoking anymore.  He doesn't do it around me and I hardly ever think about what he is doing while he is home all stressed out.  He can do what he needs to.  He doesn't do it here.

I am very fortunate that I do not live with this man.  I highly doubt I could live with his behavior in my home.  I would never choose that sort of living arrangement for myself.

In these ways, I feel very lucky.  Sticking to my boundaries, making my own choices and letting go.  I feel good.

Lori,

You can eliminate the word "Think" from the title of your topic.

Change it to "I have made some progress".

The Proof: You state you are sticking to your boundaries, making your own choices, and letting go. That should make you feel good !!!!

Have a wonderful weekend.

HUGS,
RLC

I want to thank you all for your encouragement.

I never thought this relationship would work and I tried to end it many times. I now realize that I shouldn't have blamed everything on him. I had a lot to do with it. For now I will enjoy the good times, but know my limits. They are clear to both of us. I never thought things could be so good.

I am definitely not done learning, but it's nice to put into practice things learned so far. Thanks everyone.
