I will add that, with the exception of a couple times when I misunderstood something or he was unclear (like, text to schedule, but he left out the part about "don't explain why you want an extra session"), I did follow the rules. He agreed that I followed his email rules (and phone and texting ones). *He* chose to make some of his boundaries weaker, like opting not to charge me for certain emails he normally would have charged for (or charging me less than the time he spent on it--and this wasn't me insisting, except once over a misunderstanding), responding to an email at an hour later than he normally would have, etc. And it could be said that giving me extra sessions pretty much whenever I requested was sorta loose boundaries. Letting me come in a day earlier and switching around sessions. Giving me a stone even if he didn't feel comfortable doing so. Etc.

In other words, it wasn't just me...he could have opted to be firmer in boundaries and push back more early on. But didn't. Well, except with a couple things. (Let me go with this thought, I need to be able to feel anger at him and not put everything on myself. Yes, I played a role, but so did he.)
