part time, What would (in part) seem to be raising the hackles on peoples necks, is the term "hard limit." A hard limit, as suggestion, isn't part of a business negotiation. It's something you say "I absolutely refuse to do this, as I believe it would damage me physically or psychologically." If you're saying you should trade one "I would be damaged" for another "I would be damaged" for this man, it sounds like he's not really interested in what you can do for him; he's interested in what you won't do, so he can prove how big and bad assed he is. Maybe you enjoy that sort of man. If that's the case, really there isn't any advice we can give you that will be satisfying to hear. If you want to be damaged, you're certainly entitled to that. If performing any of the 'hard limits' you listed to him won't damage you, it wouldn't be a hard limit would it? Honestly, ask yourself, what is it that you are taking away from the relationship with this man that makes you a stronger, better, happier person? Stephan
