Boundaries


I have a problem setting up boundaries. My husband knows that an takes full advantage of it. Like he takes my car and I get angry and then that is it nothing happens after it. So I guess he knows that nothing will happen that is why he keeps doing it. But you know what it is very hard to argue with someone about taking the car. If I try and stop him he will get very angry with me and that is going to be hard. I hate to fight and that is what  it is all going to happen. So I guess I let him get away with it.


I am trying to control that way I react not getting upset when he takes my car. Some day i will come to the strength of putting my foot down but right now I don't want to rock the boat. I don't want to have to fight and feel bad because he will be very angry with me.

How about investing in the club for your car, that way he would have to have the key to that in order to drive it.  So if he has to ask for the key for that it will give you the chance to say no...
