This is something my husband and I have learned to do with compassion (most of the time!) around the house. I have learned to say "Thanks for your help on that problem, but I just need to look at it myself for awhile now." Or he says to me, "I will help you with that in about 15 minutes, when I am done reading this." We know to trust each other, and give space, knowing that if we give space we are more likely to get it the next time we need it. It has been a great relationship tool for us. We are not perfect at it, but keeping compassion in our hearts helps us remember to use those tools. Thanks for the reminder! Karen Rainsong I know what you mean about boundary setting.
