As I thought about what I wanted to say in my blog today, I realized it was going to be a poll of sorts, but I've done several in the past few days, and i hate to get into a rut. Then I thought, well, the reason I came back here was to talk to people, and have them talk to me, and the best way to do that is to ask questions that people like to answer. So here i go again.
When B. moved in, I established a couple of 'ground rules' that I told her would need to be followed if we are going to get along. She, of course, told me hers. She crossed one of those lines last night. The subject of that particular line is unemportant. But in response, I went into my room and closed the door. She chose later to cross another line, that of my private 'space'. We had agreed that when I went into my room and closed the door, she was to respect my privacy and stay out unless i gave her permission to come in. Instead, she just opened the door and tried to start the 'discussion' again. I had to tell her 5 times to 'please leave my room and close the door'. She did finally. To me, it was a matter of respecting my private space, and the agreement we had made.
My question, what lines have you drawn, with spouse, friend, child, dog or otherwise?
