We had a discussion about how drawing boundaries often shuts someone out. And how I know that drawing boundaries is important, it really upsets me when *he* does it - and especially with this phrase.
Either he was amused or annoyed or trying to desensitize me, but he used it frequently the rest of the session. :)
I told him about the thread, and he said he really would love to see it (and the favorite phrases too). I promised to bring him an edited (for my comments) version.
We didn't talk about it this week, other than that exchange. I was upset about something else.
