relationships? boundaries? huh?
I am in recovery and am also in a relationship with someone in recovery. I have no idea what to do because I feel like as my recovery progresses, my partner's just keeps stalling. I never thought I'd find myself in a position to create "boundaries"!! What in the heck? That's what people have done to me in the past, and man, did I resent them for it. I see my own progress coming to a halt in order to continue to deal with my partner's struggles. It drags me back into that type of thinking. I accept the neglectful, erratic, disrespectful behavior, because "I understand", but it's slowly killing me inside. I trust myself 100 percent, but I don't know what to do when I'm on this side of the situation. I feel like this is karma coming back to slap me in the face. Has anyone else found themselves in this type of situation?
