[Update] Venus and a Boundary Setting Opportunity: Advice Needed
Earlier today I asked for y'alls input on how to reply to Venus's guilt tripping DH about ONLY visiting her one day this weekend. Your responses were fantasic and super helpful for DH. And he ended up setting a boundary!!! This is HUGE progress!!!
Venus: Don't you feel even a little guilty?
DH: I'm setting aside time to spend with you. Why should I feel guilty about that?
Venus: You should not. Thank you so much! Just curious...will EowynRises come too?
DH: No she's not. I'm looking forward to seeing you but it's not OK to guilt trip me into staying longer. Next time that happens I'll not come.
Venus: I was NOT trying to guilt trip you at all. Please do not assume you know my motives through texts. I'm done. See you Saturday.
Sooooo, guess we're staying home on Saturday!
