I dont see it as her boundaries so much as its her schedule, her limitations. A free hour doesnt mean she would be ready for you at that hour, given whats happened.

Thanks for this hankster. I know you're right, and I actually wouldn't have minded if she had told me she needed some time to process this herself. I did mind that she made it about me not respecting her boundaries, which is a tired old story that I don't think really applied to this situation, since all I was doing was stating my need and I accepted no for an answer.
