I'm so grateful for my husband and my marriage. I've done so much growing as a person in it and I can see how much I've changed over the last two years.

For the first time I set a boundary for myself with my husband! Not for someone else, but for me. So I can be okay. And I didn't panic. I didn't waver. I said what needed to be said, and defended myself! And he heard me, and respected me, and said he'll immediately start working on respecting that boundary.

I almost cried doing it because,,,, well, I think I cried because I felt like I said what Id always hoped someone would say for me growing up. But instead I did it. I was calm, and respectful, and strong, and concise and clear.

I just needed to vent this somewhere. Im so proud of myself!
