Saying no isnt easy, especially if its to someone you care about.
Some folks take advantage of people with a lack ofboundaries, which can be especially annoying.
Unfortunately, thats easier said than done, and this woman quickly realized that.
Her boyfriend kept letting his ex-wife crash all of theircouplesplans and never confronted her about it.
One day, the ex went too far, and it caused a lot of drama.
Its not only important to care for the childs wellbeing but also your own when dealing with your ex.
Asuccessful co-parentingarrangement requires you to have healthy boundaries and mutual respect for one another.
This sounds easy in theory but can be tough to put into practice.
Its obvious that the man has struggled to confront his ex about her overbearing behavior.

He has been noticing more how she takes over.
Not confident that hell do anything different at this point, but much more observant of heroversteppingand taking advantage.
In this case, many netizens felt like theboyfriendslack of assertiveness was concerning.
