complicated or not? Hex 60.1.2>8

Now I have moved house after leaving a difficult, volatile situation behind, and haveI moved into something just as complicated well not violent but.....

So further to this thread http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?t=14920G is friends with the people I rent off/share a house with although we have a seperate kitchens and bathrooms.
My kitchen and bathroom is shared with others who rent long term or temporary on the property. At the moment there is one other permanent resident called J who I set boundaries up with straight away in terms of food and cleaning etc. He was receptive and we get on fine.
However G is also somehow allowed to share this kitchen although he is not a resident here and at the moment we are more estranged in our relationship than affable and although I spoke to him about the same boundaries he is clearly resistant.
I have spoken to the owners but they are a bit like - work it out for yourselves. Tricky.

What strategy can I use in my somewhat complicated sharing circumstances

Hex 60.1.2>8

Does this mean stand in my own power but still let him do what he wants? How do you work with someone who says 'no I won't do it your way' - just like a child and continues to impose themselves or take food that don't belong to them or whatever.

Basically because I am not giving him what he wants in terms of a relationship on his terms he becomes more and more resistant, argumentative, pushes and pushes the boundaries etc.

What is the best way to deal with g resistance

Hexagram 23.5>20 at the moment I just feel like crying and crying with this present complication.
The only other woman living here has a soft spot for g as he is picking up the slack of her husband so to speak, in regards to the responsibilities of a new baby in the home.

I've always attributed the opposites of lines 1 and 2 of 60 to the importance of discrimination and good ti-ming. Holding with what is reliable is not a matter of do or don't, but more of where, when and what and how much. Lines need to be established, but with how much leniency and tolerance is to be determined by one who holds it together.

Yes, I would agree with Meng. I have often received 60.1.2 and have been annoyed, when trying to resolve some difficult situation, to get these 2 contradictory lines. One says it is good to stay within one's restrictions, while the next says it is very bad augury to do so.

This is why, as Meng says, it is a question of timing, and finding the mean between the extremes: To accept some limitations in your situation makes good common sense. To allow it to become oppressive does not.

23.5>20 Splitting apart, within the context of viewing and contemplating the situation. Yet line 5 of 23 is the good line: The one where things can be turned around.

23.5 or how to peel him off? Change the tactics.
He likes annoying you, so you take that away - offer a meal, be aloof...its not fun to molest someone who has risen above it so he may come off from his childlish ways and become more cooperative...play him even, as 60.1,2 suggest, apply a bit of strategy..as he would not be poking around you if without interest (of some kind).

60 lines 1 and 2 do the appropriate thing at the right time
and you all get along 8

as for g step back and observe him - there but detached
(as it seems you have to co exist)

Thankyou to meng, hopex, dragona and foxx777 - your interpretations are confirming I am on the right track in my own mind, heart is another thing of course but I am doing my best. Yep dragona he does like annoying me (how childish) but I know it's because he doesn't have the courage to face up to his own self responsiblities in our relationship. Our mutual friend says it's so obvious you want to be with each other but neither of you will accept the way the other wants the relationship to be.
He's got that right - g doesn't have an open heart because he of a past relationship that ended 10 years ago and he takes angst from that relationship out on me - how can you have a healthy relationship with that going on.
And from his g of view, it seems, I should just put up and shut up .:eek:

I am reading the book (again) Woman who love too much - lots of interesting parallels for me going on there.

It is actually g's birthday today and last week I had suggested dinner with our mutual friends but considering the situation at the moment and fortunately he hasn't really been around since Friday I am not that interested - how should I share in g's birthday celebrations today Hex 14.4>26 - haha guess that says it all.

thks and have a joyous day - Liss

PS sorry I haven't helped on your own personal threads not sure if I could be of more help than what you are getting although I do read them to see what's going on for you funny how sometimes we are going through the same things at the same time xx
