I totally agree with this! On a personal note--I have realized much of my problem in life has been that I have terrible boundaries (always say yes to everyone including H, children, work, etc--you just can't make everyone happy) and am trying to improve in this area. When you change a boundary--people get upset--but if they love you--they adapt and accept the new boundary.

Tisha--as far as your business goes--it seems like sometimes you enjoy it and sometimes you don't--the reasons are probably complex. Maybe keep on imagining what YOU want your business to be. When you have your own business--many of them are cyclical or things just are changing so fast that you have to reassess what is working or not all of the time. BTY I know this post started because you are worried about you ex bfs behavior. This is female instincts (self preservation)--I hope your worry is not warranted.
